Hmm, perhaps the ctypes documentation could use a more prominent warning that it may not be available on some Unix platforms (HP-UX, AIX, IRIX), and that it may require the use of GCC rather than the vendor compiler on others (Solaris).
At the moment, I suspect some projects may be switching to using it without realising the implications for cross-platform portability.
I think it's a tad more problematic. As other modules, both in and out of the standard library, move to use ctypes, it implies that Python isn't supported on those combinations. Personally, that's fine with me (as long as there's a workaround for Solaris!), but I think that Ulrich is right in saying this should be more prominent.
