can you think of any reason why this wouldn't count for fedora versions too?

As far as i know ctypes are part of python-libs from python 2.5. So there is no need for separate python-ctypes.

Comment 4 Greg Swift 2013-10-23 15:56:52 UTC
thanks Arun.

Just went back and reviewed the packaging guidelines for python packages, and I want to make another set of changes to the spec.  shouldn't change functionality.  might take me a few more days to find the time though, but technically its not necessary so this can go forward.  up to you.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2017-04-06 10:39:05 UTC
Fedora EPEL 5 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-03-31. Fedora EPEL 5
is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

or Fedora EPEL, please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If
you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current
release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
