Well rats. Skull duggery on the net is a lot more sophisticated than when I saw it last (15 years ago). Getting up to speed with it is on my list, but quite aways down. Best strategy is to only plan on using it a few times and then uninstall. Maybe restore that install from a drive backup if I need it again, then overwrite with an up to date backup. There's only one C library I want to rewrite parts of in Python, and if I get it right the first time I probably won't have need of Visual Studio again. I really just want to see the execution path through a very weirdly constructed sub path in the C Library. Once I have that I can get the rest from the code. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
