Note to self: do not comment on python-dev at 2 am, as one's ability to read PEPs correctly apparently suffers :) Consider my comment withdrawn, you're quite right that PEP 399 actually says this is precisely the case where an exemption is a reasonable idea. Although I believe it's likely that PyPy will wrap it with ctypes anyway :) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan at gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
