Not only that, if you want to always select a particular compiler, you can put it in your $HOME/pydistutils.cfg (Windows) or ~/.pydistutils.cfg (Unixes), or in a distutils.cfg file in the package directory for distutils (any platform). I do this for any new Python install on Windows, and never have to use the --compiler or -c option. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
