pyinotify doesn't work with local version of python

[anonymous]

pyinotify works fine for using the system wide version of python. But for a particular application I need it to run with a version of python installed in the $HOME directory.

paul@apt:~/fred.current$ python -m pyinotify -v

Okay, from the trace it seems that there is a problem when pyinotify try to use ctypes module. For the moment I haven't any clue and I don't have this kind of environment, therefore it is not easy to track it down.
