Yep. Actually, I am using Cython for optimization on some parts of my code. It indeed needs a good compiler to build binary from Cython scripts. Currently, I employ MinGW for this task. Therefore I think, if VC2003-compiled python runtime library can cooperate with MinGW, why not VC2003<->VC2005? hehe. > > In the future Python 2.6 and 3.0 are build with my VS 2008 system and > extensions can be build with the free express version, too. > > Christian > > -- > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
