I didn't bother to report that particular issue since http://bugs.python.org/issue4709 (which has been reported nearly 4 years ago) isn't being fixed and I can't provide a testcase that fails... Other bugs that I hit when using mingw-w64: http://bugs.python.org/issue11566 http://bugs.python.org/issue12641 http://bugs.python.org/issue11722 They could all have been fixed if some core python developer did care. But judging from the comments in the bugtracker it looks to me like they don't care much about compiling extensions with non visual-studio professional compilers (support for the express version of vs is also subpar). They even care much less about compiling python itself with mingw. I wish we had something like http://strawberryperl.com/ in python land. They ship a complete development environment including a C compiler for perl! -- Cheers Ralf _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
