You shouldn't attempt to do that. Even if you manage to convince distutils to use VS 2005 to compile your extension, the resulting code may crash Python because of obscure incompatibilities between the compiler that was used to compile Python (VS 2003) and the compiler that was used to compile the extension (VS 2005). Whether or not it will actually crash depends on obscure details of the API that the extension uses. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
