Unfortunately I don't have an appropriate place my Python builds, so could 
you suggest somewhere? Of course I eventually want it to become part of the 
PythonCE project, so perhaps the developers of that project would be kind 
enough to allow me to upload new builds, marked as "alpha" or "snapshots" 
for now?

I think moving to version 2.4.2 is a good idea but I doubt it will be 
trivial and I think it will distract from the current task verifying that my 
port of ctypes works as you expect. I think it is better to focus on the 
working version of Python we have at the moment and upgrade later. Is there 
any specific problem with using Python 2.3?
