What Python version are you trying to compile? This sounds like Python 2.4 and earlier. Microsoft has broken compatibility with standard C in VS 2005, in a way that breaks Python on startup. In Python 2.5, a work-around was added. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
