So maybe Python just doesn't run on Solaris with the Sun C compiler. Certainly doesn't build out of the box.

Hmmm, when I look at http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware/, I see that Python is listed as "included with Solaris 10" as "Sun-supported software". But the version installed on my Solaris 11 system is 2.4.4. Still, this gives me hope that Sun is looking at Python 2.5, including ctypes, and will eventually make it work.
