The attached patch fixes all the ctypes tests so they pass on amd64.
It also fixes several warnings. I'm not sure what else to do with the
patch. Let me know how you want to handle these in the future.
I'm not sure the patch is 100% correct. You will need to decide what
can be 64 bits and what can't. I believe
sq_{item,slice,ass_item,ass_slice} all need to use Py_ssize_t. The
types in ctypes.h may not require all the changes I made. I don't
know how you want to support older version, so I unconditionally
changed the types to Py_ssize_t.

The patch is also in the ctypes SVN repository now, after small
changes to add compatibility with older Python versions.
PyObject_Unicode(). This problem was originally reported from Coverity
and addresses mail on python-dev "checkin r43015".
This inlines the conversion of the string to unicode and cleans
up/simplifies some code at the end of the PyObject_Unicode().
We really need a complete C API test module for all public APIs
and passing good and bad parameter values.
Will backport.
Anyway, this is the changes to the with-statement
so that __exit__ must return a true value in order
for a pending exception to be ignored.
The PEP (343) is already updated.
missing PyObject_Del()'s, simplify some code by using Py_BuildValue()
instead of creating a tuple with items manually, stop clobbering builtin
exceptions in a few places, and guard against NULL-returning functions some
more.
This fixes 117 of the 780 (!?!#%@#$!!) reference leaks in test_bsddb3. I
ain't not done yet, although this review of 5kloc was just the easy part.
an error code, this let `self` leak. This is a disaster
on Windows, since `self` already points to a newly-opened
file object, and it was impossible for Python code to
close the thing since the only reference to it was in a
blob of leaked C memory.
test_hotshot test_bad_sys_path(): This new test provoked
the C bug above. This test passed, but left an open
"@test" file behind, which caused a massive cascade of
bogus test failures in later, unrelated tests on Windows.
Changed the test code to remove the @test file it leaves
behind, which relies on the change above to close that
file first.
to an unsigned int (and back again) on 64-bit machines, even though the
actual value of the Py_ssize_t variable is way below 31 bits. I suspect
