Pretty good, I would say. Look, for example, at the buildbots. Major architectures that are currently *not* supported: - Linux/BSD/arm (because the libffi/arm doesn't support closures, although ctypes on WindowsCE/arm works) - Windows/AMD64 (This is probably currently not a major platform. Sometimes I'm working on a port for this) - I know that there are some problems on solaris, although the solaris10/sparc buildbot does not report probems. > Until ctypes is uniformly supported on all platforms, > it can't be considered a complete replacement for > C-coded extensions (whether handwritten or generated > by something else). > > -- > Greg Thomas _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
