I have been using Python for some time but it's been a decade since I've tried to build it from source, back in the 2.4 days. Things seem to have gotten a little more complicated now.
I've read through the PCBuild/README file and got most stuff compiling. I find it a little odd that there are special instructions for the building the release version of tcl/tk. Is that what the developers actually do when they cut a release, or is there some other, top-level script that does this automatically? It just seems odd. Anyhow, my specific question is around the distutils wininst stubs, provided as binaries in the release tarball. Where can I find the source files that those binaries are built from? Many thanks, Mark. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
