<div dir="ltr">I have been doing some research on getting "int128_t" supported in Python, and have hit a snag:<div><br></div><div>I've found that libffi does support this type, but sadly ctypes and cffi do not. Adding to ctypes does not seem to be trivial, since the description of an integer type is limited to a single character ("q" in the case of long long). "q" is considered to be a length of 8, whereas what I really want is the integer type "ll" which is correctly considered length of 16.</div>
