Description of problem: _ctypes.so links in a private copy of libffi. It should use the system libffi to avoid duplication. A diff shows no significant changes between the system libffi and the one in ctypes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python-2.6-5.fc11.x86_64
Actually, this is slightly more urgent than I realized, the local libffi in python doesn't contain ffi_closure_alloc and ffi_closure_free, which are needed to fix bug #488396.
Created attachment 335476 [details] Patch to python.spec to use system libffi
