Right. 2.5 is optionally available for Edgy Eft (the next Ubuntu version). >> Then there is Windows which typically doesn't have any of the components >> we need.

But when the official Python builds (in 2.3 timeframe) were done using Visual Studio 6, and at OSAF we were using Visual Studio 2003 (aka VS 7), I was unable to compile M2Crypto with the official Python binaries. I had to build both Python and M2Crypto myself using VS 7 to get M2Crypto to compile. This is also a frequent source of complaints on the python lists, since the official Python binaries are built with VS 7 which you can no longer get from Microsoft. -- Heikki Toivonen
