Fantastic! they must be more (binary) compatable than I thought. > What am I or will I be losing by using MinGW instead of Visual Studio? The only thing that I've read consistently is that VisualStudio does a better job of optimizing code. Otherwise, you might not be losing anything. (I have no love for the IDE itself.) Have fun with wxWidgets + C++ extensions. I think it's a killer combination. I'm doing some work with live video plus antialised rendering plus the html virtual list control that is coming together very well. My only hurdle is py2exe can't make a single executable out of it... Py2exe can create a package with a dozen files, but I was hoping for a nice tiny bundle. -Jim _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
