no, Shed Skin is a completely separate entity, that outputs C++ code. it's true I only use GCC to test the output, and I use some GCC- specific extensions (__gnu_cxx::hash_map/hash_set), but people have managed to compile things with Visual Studio or whatever it is called. btw, the windows version of Shed Skin comes with GCC so it's easy to compile things further (two commands, 'ss program' and 'make run' suffice to compile and run some program 'program.py') mark dufour (Shed Skin author). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
