Re: [Jython-users] ctypes in trunk

Thanks again, Nicholas (sure that the first thing should be  "thanks for your work!")

Just one question more, ;):

Usually, I use jna (or sometimes jni) to access native libraries under jython. I think that the advantage of ctypes is the use of work derived from CPython. Do you expect that will  be easily ported code using ctypes from CPyhton to jython (I am thinking in numpy and so on ... )?
