That's nice to know, but I personally don't have an MSDN subscription. Many scientists don't have access to development tools like VS2008. Many hobby developers don't have access expensive MSDN subscriptions. Many don't develop C personally, but just "needs a compiler" to build an extension with distutils. And for all of us not subscribing to MSDN, this is the only remaining source. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
