Hi,

I work on a project that still supports 2.5.1 for now (we plan to upgrade to 2.6 in the near future). In the meantime, we are moving to MSVC++ 2008 from MSVC++ 2003. Up to now, we have been using the binary distribution of python, but I believe to support MSVC++ 2008, we now must build python 2.5.1 ourselves. Actually, I've already built python itself, but I have run into trouble trying to build tcl/tk 8.4, which comes with support for MSVC++ 6.

now for my questions.. am I wrong that I need to rebuilt python 2.5.1 to fully support our MSVC++ users who only have MSVC++ 2008 on their systems? Could I just provide them a couple specific MSVC++ 2003 libraries and they'll be fine?

Has anyone else managed to build the tcl/tk with MSVC++ 2008?

Would these troubles disappear if we just upgrade to python 2.6 now?

Are there any web pages out there that discuss building python and its associated components from scratch?

Thanks,
Heather
