Wen, For questions relating to development and debugging of native Python extensions under Windows, I suggest heading over the main Python web site and mailing lists. We don't have any expertise in that area.
Why don't we? Because we do most PyMOL development on Mac OS and Linux, using free or open-source tools, such as GCC, GDB, and Apple's wonderful XCode, with CHUD and OpenGL profilers. Even on Windows, we are now bypassing Microsoft Visual Tools altogether and using MingW and GCC to build our native Java extension. Cheers, Warren -- Warren L. DeLano, Ph.D. Principal Scientist .
