That's certainly the case. It is all Mark Hammond's doing still; not much has happened since the original Windows port. The other reason, of course, is that adding *specific* support for Windows will break support of other platforms. Microsoft had no problems breaking support of VB on Linux :-) Regards, Martin _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
