Can't import the ctypes python library in Google App Engine

问题

I can't import ctypes on the production GAE server, which is causing our code to break. Seemingly, urllib and urllib2 also rely on this library, but somehow it's possible to import them on production through the console (e.g. navigate to www.myapp.com/console). Is this a feature or a bug? Thanks!

回答1:

ctypes is not available in the Python 2.5 runtime or in the current Python 2.7 runtime. See the knowledge base for more details and this list enumerating white-listed module.
