I think it's important that some truly free toolset such as mingw remains an option. In fact I think it's even more important than the free MS compilers. The trouble with their so-called free compilers is that they don't *stay* free -- any given version is dangled tantalizingly in front of us for a year or two and then whisked away. -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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
