... I believe it does: the ctypes maintainer wants to keep the code identical across releases (AFAICT).

Correct, that's why I listed it in PEP 291.

Fair enough -- I reverted the checkin. It's going to need #if'ery on the Python version, though, if it wants to match a Python-version-dependent data width with an appropriate format code.

You could have left it in, I'm very thankful for any help that I get. Making the patch version independent is my job - unless someone else takes care of it, of course.

BTW: Is a "porting guide" to make extension modules compatible with 2.5 available somewhere? PEP 353 scratches only the surface...
