Is it really not possible to create extension libs with older MSVC or Mingw, which work with regular Python binaries version 2.4 and 2.5 ? Maybe with some special import libraries? (another option is to stay with Python2.3, which has a small memory footprint and compiles with crtl4.2 libs (VC6, ...) ) -robert -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
