It seems that the emerging consensus (bar a security question from Guido) is that ctypes it the way forward for calling C code in Python 3000. I'd like to clarify what this might mean:
What's the state of play concerning ctypes support on non-x86 platforms?
Until ctypes is uniformly supported on all platforms, it can't be considered a complete replacement for C-coded extensions (whether handwritten or generated by something else).
