I disagree; programs compiled with mingw32 run on Windows, and use the MSVC runtime. It's the same platform as the current win32 build. It's even possible to use mingw32 to compile extensions for the VS9.0 based python.exe. A different compiler does not make a new platform. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3871> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
