 Ok, I'll submit my problem here as a follow-up as well, maybe someone 
 gets around to fix it. I have no clue on how Python build s modules and 
 how the whole build system is handled, so I most likely have no chance 
 to find out how to fix it.
 
 Python 2.7.2 builds on the Dreamplug (evolved Sheevaplug) including 
 ctypes, but upon importing the module, it crashes.
 I tried to see if the patch did some magic to make it work, but that was 
 just a shot in the dark.. and no it doesn't help.
