The libffi library in Python 2.5 is too old and won't be upgraded to a newer version. I see several possibilities for you: - Use Python 2.6 (if you can live with the beta or wait for the release) - Use Python 2.5, compile with GCC - Use Python 2.5, and build/install the ctypes version from Python SVN trunk as add-on module, it is available here: http://svn.python.org/projects/ctypes/branches/ctypes-1.1/ Closing as wont fix, sorry.
