Traits includes an extension module. You will need a suitable compiler. http://www.develer.com/oss/GccWinBinaries To tell distutils to use this compiler for all extension modules, create pydistutils.cfg file with the following contents: [build_ext] compiler=mingw32 See this page for details about this file: http://docs.python.org/inst/config-syntax.html You will get the most help about Traits and the rest of the Enthought Tool Suite on the enthought-dev mailing list. https://mail.enthought.com/mailman/listinfo/enthought-dev -- Robert Kern -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
