I got python2.7 ctypes working with this: http://whocares.de/finally-a-fix-for...ort-of-ctypes/ (I have tried to fix the cause of this without success) I modified python2.7 from extras-devel and pushed it back to the builder, but seems builder is not in good shape currently and I'm not getting success nor failure (there are several packages built but not moved to the repository which implies some kind of issues). Here is locally built debs for early adopters: http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/rantalai/maemo5/python2.7/
