Thank you for posting to comp.lang.python . Beside the problem with the multiline strings in sets.c I was getting also: src\sets\sets.c(70) : error C2099: initializer is not a constant src\sets\sets.c(71) : error C2099: initializer is not a constant src\sets\sets.c(71) : warning C4028: formal parameter 1 different from declaration src\sets\sets.c(72) : error C2099: initializer is not a constant src\sets\sets.c(72) : warning C4047: 'initializing' : 'PyTypeObject *' differs in levels of indirection from 'int (__cdecl *)(PyObject *)' src\sets\sets.c(72) : warning C4028: formal parameter 1 different from declaration error: command 'E:\VisualC++NET2003\Vc7\bin\cl.exe' failed with exit status 2 Anyone here who succeeded to compile and use this module with Python 2.4.2 on Windows 2000/XP? Please share your experience. Claudio -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
