well, instructions were clear enough for me. What is hard to get why it could not use free M$ compiler which is presumably produces compatible objects and libraries. In fact I played with msvccompiler.py a little bit, get around registry paths and was able to produce .pyo file. Then I hit some runtime lib issues. In meantime I found precompiled probstat lib so gave up on making msvccompiler.py compatible with VS 2008. Bottomline - it would be nice to have such support. -- alf -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
