(original) (raw)

I think the test is blocked on my question of whether we are allowed to rely on ctypes in the test suite.

If so, it's fine as I recall. Fairly sure it's a Windows-specific test anyway, so ctypes can basically be assumed for all Windows platforms we currently care about.

The issue is still open because of an unresolved question about testing
but the patch has been committed so thanks for that! Reminds me of the
saying "perfection is the enemy of shipped".

I'd help with getting the test committed but unfortunately it's well
outside my area of expertise...
