And what about platforms like the JVM or CLR?

Incidentally there were a small but vocal group of Pythonistas who were (are?) certain that IronPython is not Python because it doesn't have [all of...] the C extensions. It seems likely to be easier to port ctypes to Jython/IronPython than it is to port 500 C extensions to Jython. So more software using ctype seems like an improvement for those communities.

Yes, both of them have their own FFIs. Seo Sanghyeon started a port of ctypes for IronPython that should be revived by 'someone'. :-)
