Summary 0005053: module "_ctypes" missing on SPARC builds (Python 3.1)
Description I'm using Python 3.1 from OpenCSW testing. Unfortunately, as I only have one SPARC machine, and it is my production development machine, I cannot upgrade to "unstable" to test out Python 3.3 for now. But based on the makefile (see below) I believe the same issue appears there as well.

Problem:

I'm trying to use Python 3.1 to start BIND 10 (bind10.isc.org), which imports the "_ctypes" module. "_ctypes" exists in the i386 builds of OpenCSW, but not in the SPARC builds.

The makefile at
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/pkg/lang-python/python/branches/python-3.3/Makefile#L14 [^]
suggest that this is a known issue.

I was able to build Python 3 (3.2.3 and 3.3.0) on Solaris 10 SPARC including "_ctypes" by using the " --with-system-ffi" switch on "./configure".

my request is to build Python 3.x on SPARC with "_ctypes" in the future or even to update the existing packages.
Additional Information BIND 10 ticket: http://bind10.isc.org/ticket/2812 [^]

Python 3.1 has been removed from the unstable catalog, and 3.3 includes the ctypes module.
