> It shouldn't be hard to make ctypes optional in pip, it's only used to check if the OS we're running on is "manylinux" compatible, roughly checking the glibc version number.

These checks look low level, so it makes sense to use ctypes for that.

> Worst case we can just conditon that check on ctypes existing.

Do you mean skipping the new "manylinux" thing if ctypes is missing? If yes, I agree with this option. In practice, types is only missing in very rare cases.
