Thomas, I'd be fine with the official ctypes repo being Python SVN.

The sandbox seems a fine place for this. It's what I'm currently doing with the email package. Two of the three versions are actually external'd from Python branches and contain extra stuff to enable standalone releases. The third is being developed first in the sandbox, but will soon be merged back into the trunk and then managed in the same way as the other two. Except for the usual headaches of managing three versions of a package, it's working out quite well.
