[Python-Dev] 3rd party developers: don't change your APIs when porting to Py3k! (but consider using ctypes)

Tue Mar 18 02:40:25 CET 2008

I'm the maintainer of a few Python packages which wrap native C or C+ 
+ code.
At Pycon, I learned that PyPy and Jython support ctypes or have plans 
to do so in the near future. I don't know about IronPython.
However, having CPython, PyPy, and Jython all supporting ctypes makes 
it the obvious choice for interfacing to native code in the future.
