The C and C++ runtimes interact (e.g. stdlib.h and <iostream>), malloc and new, etc. With g++ you have a C++ standard library compiled against msvcrt.dll, whereas Python is using msvcr90.dll. We can use the C++ runtime msvcp90.dll used by VC++ 2008, but this DLL is binary incompatible with g++ (GNU uses a different ABI for C++). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
