Martin v. Löwis added the comment: The defaulting of WINVER is indeed a compiler things; the problems started when we moved to VS 2008 (so VC6 would certainly have a different default).
Setting WINVER for extension modules wouldn't have helped with the Tcl problem: Tcl/Tk itself gets compiled independent of Python - Py_BUILD_CORE had no effect here. It *does* have effect on _tkinter, since _tkinter is part of Py_BUILD_CORE. Setting WINVER for all extension modules would be bad style. Some modules may fail to compile - it's up to the module author to decide what API level to build against. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1706> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
