Subject: gh-145557: Check ctypes is available in test_external_inspection (#145558)
X-Git-Tag: v3.15.0a7~48
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7232883adfc28f94a62d2e79c897db59711702d7;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

gh-145557: Check ctypes is available in test_external_inspection (#145558)

Currently TestGetStackTrace.test_self_trace_after_ctypes_import() will fail if
the _ctypes extension is not built.  Make it match test_ctypes by skipping
the test in that case.
