Hi guys,

Thanks for this tool, it's a great share. I can compile a static version of python 2.7.13 with static builtin modules.
However, I need to compile the builtin _ctypes module too. It works but I have an issue when I try to import ctypes.

import ctypes # builtin
'module' object has no attribute 'dllhandle'

According to your CMakeLists.txt,

if(WIN32)
    if(MINGW)
      add_python_extension(_ctypes
          SOURCES ${ctypes_COMMON_SOURCES}
                  _ctypes/libffi_mingw/closures.c
                  _ctypes/libffi_mingw/debug.c
                  _ctypes/libffi_mingw/prep_cif.c
                  _ctypes/libffi_mingw/raw_api.c
                  _ctypes/libffi_mingw/${_libffi_system_dir}/ffi.c
                  _ctypes/libffi_mingw/${_libffi_system_dir}/win32.S
          INCLUDEDIRS ${SRC_DIR}/Modules/_ctypes/libffi/src/${_libffi_system_dir}
                      ${SRC_DIR}/Modules/_ctypes/libffi/include
          DEFINITIONS X86_WIN32
        )
    else() # Visual Studio
      if(${CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P} EQUAL 8)
          enable_language(ASM_MASM)
          set(_ctype_arch_impl win64.asm)
      else()
          set(_ctype_arch_impl win32.c)
      endif()
      add_python_extension(_ctypes
          SOURCES ${ctypes_COMMON_SOURCES}
                  _ctypes/malloc_closure.c
                  _ctypes/libffi_msvc/prep_cif.c
                  _ctypes/libffi_msvc/ffi.c
                  _ctypes/libffi_msvc/${_ctype_arch_impl}
          REQUIRES BUILD_LIBPYTHON_SHARED
          INCLUDEDIRS ${SRC_DIR}/Modules/_ctypes/libffi_msvc
        )
    endif()

We need to compile a shared lib version of python instead of a static lib (REQUIRES BUILD_LIBPYTHON_SHARED) but I do need to compile a static one.

Do you have an idea?

Thanks a lot,
