Installation failure on 64-bit Python 2.5 under Windows - no ctypes module #56

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Install colorama 0.3.0+ into a 64-bit Python 2.5 environment on Windows

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The package should install correctly.
It fails when it tries to import the ctypes module as that module is not 
included in the standard CPython 2.5 64-bit distribution.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Windows 7 SP1 x64
CPython 2.5.4
Colorama:
 - colorama 0.3.0
 - colorama 0.3.1 (after manually fixing the setup.py 'with' bug)

Please provide any additional information below.

The problem seems to have been introduced by commit 
'8cc97352831ba804cd55eec408b088553e0245d4' that was supposed to fix issue #47.

As a quick-fix, and without in-depth research into issue #47, I would suggest 
undoing the fix when run using 64-bit Python 2.5 on Windows. :-)

I think undoing the fix for Python 2.5 should be safe as pyreadline does not 
support it at all (see 'http://pythonhosted.org/pyreadline/introduction.html').

Pull request #4 (https://github.com/tartley/colorama/pull/4) fixes the issue.

Pull request updated in the meantime with an additional commit - now colorama 
not only successfully installs with CPython 2.5 x64 but also no longer raises 
an internal error at run-time. :-)

Hope this helps.
