Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I think this was improperly closed. #22611 was about pip. This one is about test_venv failing today, 8 days after 22611 was closed, when optional module _ctypes is not built. The resolution of this issue should be that either the buildbots start using the

Donald Stufft added the comment: More or less. You could argue whether it's a defect or not but it unconditionally imports ctypes and apparently that is an optional module (I had no idea it was personally, and I can't find any documentation to say that it is). colorama doesn't really *need*
