Hi Martyn, Thanks for the good advice to download VS 2008 before M$ delete it from their download servers. Unfortunately they have already done this so many Python modules now can't be compiled correctly on Windows! Best regards, Philip -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-lis

I've generally found it wise to grab the ISO images for the express editions collection, and save it somewhere in cold storage. Never have needed to compile Python on Windows, but some modules only support older versions (e.g. 2.4 or 2.5), which is irksome. So it's a good idea to have stuff setup

Microsoft has just released Visual Studio 2010, along with its free (of charge) Express edition. Following a tradition, they are likely to withdraw support and availability for VS 2008 Express some time in the future. Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.1 are all built with that release (i.e. 2008). Because of
