Yes. Option 1: *Maybe* you can help yourself. Have you not noticed from the above that the compiler is magically prepending "__imp__" to the names of external functions? However the .lib that comes with Python won't have that "__imp__". You would have to bridge that gap, somehow. Have you searched the lcc documentation? Are you prepared for the next several problems that may arise? By the way, lcc also *appears* to change "...Module3" to "...Module4" :-) Option 2: You have been helped already. There are two free compilers which work quite well for developing extensions in C for win32 platforms; start reading here: http://docs.python.org/inst/tweak-flags.html#SECTION000620000000000000000 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
