Hello,

Git-p4 fail when I try to rebase with the error: "NameError: global name 'ctypes' is not defined". The error occurs when I use python 2.7.2 that is installed by default on my company's computers (it goes without saying that everything works fine with python 2.7.10).

I'm a beginner in python, but simply importing ctypes at the beginning of the script does the trick. I was wondering if submitting a patch for this issue is worth the trouble, when a satisfying solution is not using a 4 years old version of python.

Best regards
