[ctypes-users] using ctypes from CVS

[Thomas H. <th...@py...>]

For people following CVS:

I added some magic so that it's possible to use ctypes from a CVS
sandbox without running 'setup.py install'.

'setup.py build' must have been run, and you somehow have to include the
top-level directory (the directory where 'setup.py' is) into the Python
sys.path. This can be done by setting the PYTHONPATH environment
variable, by installing a .pth file pointing to this directory, or by
manipulating sys.path excplicitely.

The advantage is that you keep your Lib/site-packages clean and you can
switch between multiple versions of ctypes (or Python).

Hope that's useful (it is for me),

Thomas
