I'm running into a problem with ctypes 0.9.6 which appearently has been
fixed in CVS (I get crashes with ctypes 0.9.6 and earlier on Linux and
win32 (for Python 2.3 as well as 2.4). With the recent Debian package
(which is a CVS snapshot as of 2005-10-31), the problem is gone).

I'm pretty comfortable on Linux platforms, but I failed to compile
ctypes from CVS for win32.

Could anybody provide me with a compiled ctypes package >  0.9.6 for
win32?

Alternatively, could somebody tell me how to compile ctypes on win32?
I have MSVC6, which ought to work for the official Python2.3.5.exe from
python.org. Still, "python setup.py build" tells me that I lack the
necessary compiler.

Or, even better, perhaps this problem in 0.9.6 could be fixed by
patching some .py files?


Thanks in advance for any help,
    Gregor



For what it's worth, this is how the crash looks like with 0.9.6:

clapton:46>  python2.3 xxx.py
