These checks look low level, so it makes sense to use ctypes for that. > Worst case we can just conditon that check on ctypes existing. Do you mean skipping the new "manylinux" thing if ctypes is missing? If yes, I agree with this option. In practice, types is only missing in very rare cases. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26610> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
