Georg Brandl <ge...@python.org> added the comment:

Jason, that the dl module requires sizeof(int) == sizeof(char *) does not mean 
that it (or we) thinks this to be true on every platform.  Rather, the module 
is written in a way that requires this equality, and rather than crashing it 
does this check beforehand.

As you may have noticed, the dl module is deprecated anyway in favor of ctypes, 
and removed in Python 3.x.
