The default build will be the VC 2003 compiler as for 2.4, but there will also be VC 2005 project support files in a PCBuild8 subdirectory, if current efforts by CCP succeed. I am certainly compiling the 2.5 trunk with VC 2005 (VC++ 8.0, IIRC). It would be great if Tim Peters got more support for his efforts in that area, so it's good to see people besides Tim, Mark Hammond and Martin von Loewis doing significant work on that platform. Eventually someone may contribute (say) mingw support, but I'm not aware that anyone has yet stood up for the challenge of getting that into the distributions (and anyway I suspect that VC 200X will remain the default). regards Steve -- Steve Holden +44 150 684 7255 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC/Ltd http://www.holdenweb.com Love me, love my blog http://holdenweb.blogspot.com Recent Ramblings http://del.icio.us/steve.holden -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
