Python 3.14 compatibility #365
Description
The mindee package is not importable on Python 3.14. There might be multiple issues, but the first that surfaces is that it imports _ctypes.POINTER which does not exist in Python 3.14's standard library.
On Python 3.13:
❯ uvx --python 3.13 --with mindee python -c "import mindee"
Installed 9 packages in 17ms
❯ On Python 3.14
❯ uvx --python 3.14 --with mindee python -c "import mindee"
Installed 9 packages in 15ms

from _ctypes import POINTER
ImportError: cannot import name 'POINTER' from '_ctypes' (unknown location)
❯The fix here is probably to replace from _ctypes import POINTER with from ctypes import POINTER.
