ImportError: No module named ctype

[gostakraken]

hello,

I just installed pyglet and got the following:

>>> from pyglet import font

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
from pyglet import font
File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pyglet\__init__.py", line 67, in
<module>
_require_ctypes_version('1.0.0')
File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pyglet\__init__.py", line 62, in
_require_ctypes_version
import ctypes
ImportError: No module named ctypes

i'm running python 2.5 and assumed ctypes was included. can somebody
steer me in the right direction? thanks,
g.

Are you on Win64  or did you somehow install Python with the wrong installer by any chance?  From python 2.5 release notes:

- Patch #1545507: Exclude ctypes package in Win64 MSI file.

Just a shot in the dark ...

Cheers,

Thanks Drew, yes i'm using XP x64 and should have mentioned that. I
scrounged around at Sourceforge and installed the x64 bit version of
ctypes and can import now. unfortunately the "hello world" example in
the pyglet manual explodes with variable overrun errors. i can only
conclude that it's a word length issue.

am up a creek? thanks,

gostakraken.

Perhaps.  Post a stacktrace and maybe someone with a healthy level of ctypes foo or Windows experience can help you.

pyglet is not supported on 64-bit windows at present (until very recently the
developers did not have access to such a machine and now only occasionally
do). Bug reports are welcome - please see the website.

While not supported, pyglet should work on 64-bit windows under a
32-bit Python. Under 64-bit Python pyglet will absolutely not work,
don't bother posting bug reports (use Linux/64 if you need oodles of
memory) .
