[New-bugs-announce] [issue14821] Ctypes extension module builds as _ctypes_test.pyd

[Jason R. Coombs]

New submission from Jason R. Coombs <jaraco at jaraco.com>:

It appears with the latest changes (cdcc816dea85), ctypes builds as _ctypes_test.pyd, not _ctypes.pyd. This causes 'import ctypes' to fail with an ImportError and thus causes tests to fail that depend on test.support (which imports ctypes).

I first noticed this issue in features/pep-420, but the same behavior is present in the main repository. I cannot test it because Python fails to start altogether, but I see _ctypes_test.pyd in the pcbuild/amd64 directory.
