You should abandon this argument. Your original idea of a huge build infrastructure had some merit. This is just off the wall. If I use win32com how do you expect me to support Linux? What about the many packages on PYPI containing C? What if I decide to write only to Python 3? Who will support the other platforms if not the developer? -- David blog: http://www.traceback.org twitter: http://twitter.com/dstanek -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
