Either way, I'm -1 on removing the gestalt API, since it's needed by platform.py and there doesn't appear to be an alternative for getting at certain config information on Mac OS (but don't really care whether it's implemented as C module or using ctypes ;-).
What happened to the idea of making it a ctypes module?
AFAIK there is are no such plans.
I'm very much in favor to all non performance critical parts of python be in a more portable and easier to maintain code.
I'm -1 on rewriting it as a ctypes module. The existing C implementation works just fine, rewriting it in Python is just more work without clear advantages.
Then why did you attach a ctypes implementation two days ago? -Brett
