That's not windows specific - most packages which distribute binary packages need to package binaries for every minor version (2.4, 2.5, etc...). That's certainly the case for numpy and scipy. Python does not have a stable ABI across minor releases, only micro releases. I doubt that's what Paul was referring to, though - he seemed more concern with API/language changes than ABI issues. cheers, David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
