A client wants to 'be lectured' on extending and embedding python on windows. I am familiar with this (or was until python2.3 or thereabouts) on linux -- never done it on windows.
Can some kind soul point me to some link on the issues/pitfalls re this? I see three choices: 1. Us MS C for the C extensions 2. Use cygwin Recompile python from sources Use gcc for the extensions 3. Mix gcc extension + precompiled python (and pray!) -- If we use ctypes do we need to rely less on prayer? -- What goes wrong with python compiled with gcc? [Ok let me guess I have to compile everything else thereafter? Any other warnings?] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
