I try to test this package but with no luck. This module was written for Python 2.x but mine is 3.4 so I use the 2To3 to "upgrade" it first (it seems OK). Then I run "python setup.py install" and get the following error:
...
...
File "D:\Patch\ctypesgen-master\ctypesgencore\parser\lex.py", line 41, in <module>
_INSTANCETYPE = types.InstanceType
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'InstanceType'
Below is the troubled codes in file lex.py:
Note: In original codes (before 2To3 modify), there is "types.ObjectType" instead of "object".
---------
# Available instance types. This is used when lexers are defined by a class.
# It's a little funky because I want to preserve backwards compatibility
# with Python 2.0 where types.ObjectType is undefined.
try:
_INSTANCETYPE = (types.InstanceType, object)
except AttributeError:
_INSTANCETYPE = types.InstanceType
class object: pass # Note: needed if no new-style classes present
-----------
The author had put some comments above these codes but I have no idea what he is talking about.
There is someone who had encountered the same problem last year and raise a question at its home page, but the author seems has no interest on doing anything on it anymore.

Does anyone know how to fix it? or the whole job will be a mission impossible if no help from its author?
