[New-bugs-announce] [issue10296] ctypes catches BreakPoint error on windows 32

[Kristján Valur Jónsson]

New submission from Kristján Valur Jónsson <kristjan at ccpgames.com>:

import ctypes
ctypes.windll.kernel32.DebugBreak()
This used to be a handy way to attach a debugger to a running program, by way of JIT debugging.  Now ctypes catches and handles this exception so a debugger is never invoked.  Bummer.
