In most cases, carefully examine why you need native code at all. Since a good number of performance sensitive CPython modules are in fact written in C to begin with, the improvements may not always be significant.
I don't know about your application but here are some general observations. Beginers are often enamored with native code. This is normal. Unless your application is explicitly low level, native code is not worth bothering with. > thanks, I'll check out psyco's documentation, since unfortunately the > scripts will be run on a Windows box, and using a compiler other than > VC++ is not an option... 1.) mingw works quite well for writing Python extensions. 2.) ctypes is a great way to incorporate native code. Create a dll in whatever native language you please and call it from Python. 3.) Since you are on just MS Windows, you can use COM to wrap your native code. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
