Hello, It seems that the ctypes.PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc is not working in Linux 64bits machines I have tried the code in attachment in python 2.5 and 2.6 in both 32bits and 64bits machines with the following return: | linux 32bits	linux 64bits	------	--------------	--------------	py2.5	1 (OK)	0 (ERR)	py2.6

I have no time to figure out what the attached script is supposed to do. Please provide a standalone test-script and describe exactly how it should be used to reproduce the bug. However, I guess the problem is that the signature of PyThreadState_SetAsyncEx is this: int PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc( long id, PyObject *exc) To call this function correctly on a 64-bit system you have to set argtypes because 'long' isn't the same as 'int' any longer. Without argtypes, ctypes passes a Python integer as 'int' argument.

I guess this is a bug in your code, as mentioned in my last comment, so closing as invalid.
