BTW: The buildbot reports ctypes test failures on the gentoo amd64 machine: http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/trunk/amd64%20gentoo%20trunk/builds/277/step-test/0 Is there a way to get the actual failures somehow? Running the tests in verbose mode by default is probably not a good idea, because it may make tests fail, AFAIK.

I want to modify regrtest so the traceback info is stored in a file, so you can still retrieve the data after a test run. I haven't started making this mod yet.

If not, I have no other choice (since I don't have a 64-bit machine myself) than to test this in the sourceforge compilefarm amd64 machine, which is a pain since they don't allow outbound network from there.

I ran the test manually last night, there were 12 errors IIRC. It was stuff like strings not being equal. I can't send you the verbose run right now. I'll try to do it when I get a chance, but that won't be before Sunday.
