You can't use VS 2005 or 2008 with Python 2.5 or older because these Python versions are compiled with VS 7.1. Each major version of the VC compiler comes with its own version of the MSVC runtime dll. The DLLs aren't compatible in the sense that you can't pass a FILE* from one DLL to another. For example http://effbot.org/pyfaq/pyrun-simplefile-crashes-on-windows-but-not-on-unix-why.htm explains one major issue. (This issue should probably be a FAQ entry on cython.org.) Either you have to get VC 7.1 (hard and ugly) or you can use MinGW32 to compile your code under Windows. I'm using it all the time - mostly with success ;) Christian _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
