[Numpy-discussion] [OT] Can anybody else reproduce this ? (but in ctypes)

[David C. <da...@ar...>]

Hi,

    This is a bit OT, but I wasted quite some time on this time, when 
using 64 bits integers and ctypes on ubuntu edgy. As I know other people 
use ubuntu with numpy, this may save some headache to others. I found 
this behaviour which looks like a bug in ctypes for python2.5 on edgy 
ubuntu:

    python2.5 -c "from ctypes import sizeof, c_longlong; print 
sizeof(c_longlong)"

    prints 4 instead of 8, which in my case is problematic for 
structures alignement. This affects only python2.5, and does not affect 
a python installed from sources. Can anybody else reproduce this ?

    cheers,

    David
