Thanks Martin-- you pointed me in the right direction. I followed the instructions at http://www.vrplumber.com/programming/mstoolkit/index.html to modify my distutils and development environment to use the free Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit Compiler 2003. Reproducing the recipe result was straightforward from there. Marcus -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
