According to 1157, you have to patch ctypes to make it compile. There is a patch against ctypes-0.9.6. You may also use ctypes-0.9.9.3 or later which seems to compile, but this version doesn't work with the old python-tunepimp package, so picard-0.6 won't work. picard-0.7 doesn't require the old python-tunepimp anymore and will work.
Previous Version
python-musicbrainz was a python wrapper for libmusicbrainz that used the RDF web service, it was a straight python to c binding, and used ctypes to avoid having to write c code. It has been deprecated and replaced with python-musicbrainz2.
Next Version
Planning for the next version of the library, supporting the NGS schema was at python-musicbrainz3. However that was never finished and python-musicbrainzngs is a working binding for the NGS schema. You can use python-discid if you need support for reading Disc IDs.
