Another option is to compile your extensions with gcc, and specify that it link to MSVCR71.dll as the C runtime. For MinGW, it's sufficient to edit the specs (e.g. in C:\MinGW\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2) like so: *libgcc: %{mthreads:-lmingwthrd} -lmingw32 -lgcc -lmoldname -lmingwex -lmsvcr71 And tell distutils to use mingw, by putting this in lib/distutils/distutils.cfg: [build] compiler=mingw32 [build_ext] compiler=mingw32 Regards, Ryan Ginstrom -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
