I haven't personally tried a Python compile w/ this, but I'll share it in hopes that it'll help: one can download a free copy of Visual C++ 2K5 *Express* from microsoft itself. If you're interested, try: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/default.aspx It's legal, free (no registration, no BS.) HTH....MR -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
