ARM is the only major Debian architecture that's not supported by ctypes. The underlying issue is lack of closure API support for ARM in libffi. I see a patch available at http://handhelds.org/~pb/arm-libffi.dpatch, that should be hopefully a good starting point. ctypes CVS has a libffiarmwince directory, which also seems to support closure API.

I guess you should add this idea to one of the wiki pages (or did you already, and I missed it?)
