It actually would: #define _fileno(_stream) ((_stream)->_file) This definition is the same in all CRT version, plus the _file member is at the same offset in all CRT versions. Microsoft apparently wants to support linkage of object files build with one CRT version against a different CRT version. It *is* hacky, of course. > But thanks a lot for your help.

I come more and more to the conclusion that you shouldn't really be using the CRT on Win32. Anyway, I just proposed to have Python 2.5 link against msvcrt.dll on python-dev, and got mixed responses.
