Martin v. Löwis added the comment: It fails if the function being called has parameters which are not sizeof(long), and the platform has a calling convention where such parameters are passed on the stack, and consume a size different from sizeof(long) on the stack.
I disagree that it won't run on 90% of the hardware sold today - you just have to operate that hardware properly to make it work. In any case, removal of the dl module in favor of ctypes seems reasonable. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2164> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
