Possibly not being able to run the compiler on Windows 2000 (or ME/98/95) in a "supported" mode may be a deal killer for people to not switch (and stick with the Platform SDK or Visual Studio 2003). I also wonder if the results of the compilations are usable on Windows 2000 (or ME/98/95). > I'm only guessing here, but I think the Windows SDK is probably going to > become the de facto standard for building software on Windows in the absence > of Visual Studio.

Someone will have to add/update a visual studio project file equivalent in the PCBuild directory. I think it would be nice if the person who updates the PCBuild stuff also tried to find someone with other Windows platforms (64 bit, win2k, possibly the 95/98/ME family). - Josiah _______________________________________________ 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
