Ok. Your nasm workaround is fine, but ML.exe is definately intended to ship with VS 2008. For the record: The ml.exe is apparently included in the team edition of the beta, if you wanted it, but microsoft has messed up here. Alternatively, one could extract version 8 (a slightly out of date version [from VS 2005] but including SSE2 support) from the msi included with http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7a1c9da0-0510-44a2-b042-7ef370530c64&DisplayLang=en (or copy it from any VS 2005 cd). _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
