Given a reduced usage of CRT, why statically linking should not work? For instance, if all else fail wrt memory allocation, I can't see why it is a problem using the statically-linked CRT's malloc (or another multi- platform malloc implementation like Google's tcmalloc -- which would of course be statically linked as well). -- Giovanni Bajo _______________________________________________ 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
