As long as the ctypes extension doesn't build on major Un*x platforms (AIX, HP-UX), I don't like to see ctypes dependend modules included into the stdlib. Please keep the stdlib as portable as possible.
Nice in theory but ctypes already works on at least the top 3 popular platforms. Lets not hold Python's stdlib back because nobody who uses IBM and HP proprietary stuff has contributed the necessary support. Making nice libraries available for other platforms is a good way to encourage people to either pitch in and add support or consider their platform choices in the future.
