"libffi" contains the so called "foreign function interface"
(an interface that allows code written in one language to call
code written in another language). Likely, "ctypes" depends
on it.
Since some time, "ctypes" is part of Python's standard lib

On a Ubuntu trusty system I ran
./configure --prefix=/home/rptlab/PYTHON
make && make install
and get an error related to the ctypes module not being importable.
I needed to do
sudo apt-get install libffi-dev
./configure --prefix=/home/rptlab/PYTHON --with-system-ffi
make && make install
