No they don't, and Mr "Left Right" is talking out his, uhh, "Back". :) > I knew they contained the static libraries and the include files > required to build against the libraries, but I didn't think they > contained the library sources. They contain everything you need to link to the library. That usually means headers and libraries, and also pkgconfig files to point to their locations, plus anything else you might need. But no sources. That's the job of source archives. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
