Well, for starters, I don't have Windows, so I can't use it! *wink* Thanks Mark for pointing this out. Twice. Hey Bart, if you're reading this, how about answering the question: what is so hard for Windows users about running the build.bat script that is prepared for you? Does it not work? If not, that's a bug. Does it have undocumented dependencies? That's a bug. Does it have documented but unreasonable dependencies? Well, that depends on what is "reasonable", but that might be a good reason for a feature request. E.g. "support the Tiny-C compiler" might be a reasonable feature request, if Tiny-C supports all the features used by Python. "Don't require any C compiler at all" would be unreasonable. -- Steve Emoji: a small, fuzzy, indistinct picture used to replace a clear and perfectly comprehensible word. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
