But really, why is this so hard? Win64 is essentially One platform, and the freely available SDK is ONE compiler environment. surely it's possible to write a batch script of some sort that you could put somewhere (or even deliver with python! ) so this would be: 1) download and install THIS (the sdk from MS) 2) run: set_up_win_complier.py 3) build the package: python setup.py build without needing to do multiple step, without needing to be in the special set-up command Window, etc. In fact, even better would be for distutils to run the mythical "set_up_win_complier.py" script for you. distutils does work "out of the box" with the VS2008 Express for 32 bit -- I'm still confused why this is so much harder for 64 bit. *sigh* -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov
