I am using Python 2.4. I need to make a native Python extension for

Will VC++ 6.0 do the trick? That would be easier for me, because the
project is written for that one. If not, will the 2005 compiler do it?
In general, to build extension modules, you need to use the same VC
version as the one that was used to build Python. For 2.4, that would
be Visual Studio 2003. So if you use VC 6, VS 2005, or VS 2008, you
may run into problems.
Depending on what exactly the extension module does, it might work
fine also.

Thanks. I think I might just use some variety of Popen instead. I
don't need much communication between the C++ application and Python,
and it's not time-critical. I cannot get flush() to work on the Python
side of the pipe however I try. That seems to be a common complaint.
But I can work around it.
I love Python, but the update regimen is very frustrating. It's a
misery to me why every major release requires new versions of so much
application stuff. No other software that I use is like that. When I
upgrade Windoze, I do not have to get new matching versions of all my
editors, browsers, and whatnot. But Python makes me do that, and that's
why I am stuck on release 2.4. Even the pure Python stuff needs to be
copied from one "site-packages" to another. Then I have to figure out
why it won't work. I have fought my way through the upgrade path twice,
and I just can't face it again.
Thus endeth the rant.
