I'm pretty sure that the version in Python 2.5 still has some i386 stack alignment bugs. Ronald has fixed them for PyObjC, but I don't think that work has migrated to ctypes yet. The version in http://svn.python.org/projects/ctypes/trunk/ctypes/ seems to be in sync with Python 2.5. -bob _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
