Istvan, what would be the point of me working in VS2003 if people with later versions won't be able to compile my module? MinGW seems to work fine for compiling my code on Windows. The only advantage I see with coding in VS2003 is that other people using VS2003 would be able to compile my module. Are there a lot of developers still using VS2003? I'm ignorant as far as compiler popularity is concerned ;)

I'll just code everything for Those enrolled in universities can usually get Visual Studio for very little, occasionally may be pre-installed in some computer labs. That's the simplest and fastest way to get stuff done for windows. Distutils is very good at taking care of business most of the time nothing needs be changed in setup.py, same thing as for linux. As it happens Visual Studio 2003 has been discontinued so you can't buy it in store even if you wanted to. You could get one at ebay, for about $50. That would be my recommendation. While some may scoff at paying for a compiler, in the end it'll be a whole lot cheaper because you can spend your time focusing on getting things done rather than tracking down all kinds of puzzling behaviors, plus it is not actually guaranteed that you can sort things out.
