Currently the Twisted Jython buildslave dies with the following error message (see full log on http://buildbot.twistedmatrix.com/builders/ubuntu64-jython2.5-select/builds/69/steps/shell/logs/stdio):

expr: warning: unportable BRE: `^/': using `^' as the first character
of the basic regular expression is not portable; it is being ignored
missing OpenSSL No module named OpenSSL
missing Crypto No module named Crypto
missing gmpy No module named gmpy
missing SOAPpy No module named SOAPpy
found ctypes, ctypes.__version__ =
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 19, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__version__'

So normally ctypes.__version__ is available, as this Python 2.5 session shows:

'1.0.3'

But Jython doesn't have the __version__ property:

>>> ctypes.__version__
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__version__'

This issue prevents Twisted from running it's test suite on the buildslave.
