For the record, if anyone (including me) needs this info: I checked, and python 2.5.2 on amd64 is indeed build by a compiler reporting MSC 1400 (VS 2005 serie). I don't think VS 2003 compiler is used at all, actually - maybe the VS 2003 IDE can be set to use the SDK compilers, though. cheers, David _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
