The ctypes-users list requires that you subscribe to the list before you can post messages.

The current h2xml and xml2py toolchain does not work correctly with the recent gccxml
version (0.9).  You probably need gccxml version 0.7 or gccxml 0.8; if you build gccxml
yourself you should get an older version from CVS.

I made some changes to the h2xml/xml2py toolchain to support newer gccxml; this is
in the ctypeslib-gccxml-0.9 branch http://svn.python.org/view/ctypes/branches/ctypeslib-gccxml-0.9/

Hope that helps,
