As a point of reference, even Red Hat dropped Itanium support for RHEL6+ - you have to go all the way back to RHEL5 to find a version we still support running on Itanium. For most of CPython, keeping it running on arbitrary architectures often isn't too difficult, as libc abstracts away a lot of the hardware details. libffi (and hence ctypes) are notable exceptions to that :) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan at gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
