<p class="MsoNormal">I've looked into this.<br>
<br>
Current test script picks msys2-compiled python, which, after your modification, can't find 'windll', because msys2-compiled python is cygwin-like and it's 'ctypes' has no 'windll'. If we rewrite the relevant part of script thus:<br>
<br>
config.msys2 = False<br>
....<br>
elif v.startswith("MINGW"):<br>
config.msys2 = True<br>
....<br>
# Try to use UTF8<br>
if windows:<br>
import ctypes<br>
if config.cygwin or config.msys2:<br>
# Is this actually right? Which calling convention does it use?<br>
# As of the time of writing, ctypes.windll doesn't exist in the<br>
# cygwin python, anyway.<br>
mydll = ctypes.cdll<br>
else:<br>
mydll = ctypes.windll<br>
<br>
then we go slightly further and fail with:<br>
<br>
Traceback (most recent call last):<br>
File "../driver/runtests.py", line 151, in <module><br>
import ctypes<br>
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 451, in <module><br>
pythonapi = PyDLL("libpython%d.%d.dll" % _sys.version_info[:2])<br>
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 365, in __init__<br>
self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)<br>
OSError: No such file or directory<br>
<br>
And this is definitely a bug in msys2 python, because there is no such a file ("libpython*.dll) anywhere in msys2 distribution.<br>
<br>
What could be possible solutions?<br>
<br>
1. I'm seeing a new version of Msys2 appearing right now here <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/REPOS/MSYS2/i686/">
http://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/REPOS/MSYS2/i686/</a>. It is now a bunch of separate packages, I've looked into python 2.7.5 package and found ctypes-related things definitely changed. Thus we could wait a couple of days until Msys2 release process
is finished and installation information is available, hoping it's python is working properly.<br>
<br>
2. Another approach is to modify testing infrastructure to use some pure win32/mingw based python distribution. But I'm in no way an expert here, sorry.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Kyra<br>
