Is there a specific reason you need to build it from source? I've been using Python on Windows for at least a dozen years, and I've never used anything other than the installer. It's much more convenient, less error-prone, plus I get the added benefit of an uninstaller. Any time I have the choice in a Python module, I fetch a pre-built installer. If you do need to build from source, then you either need to upgrade to a more recent Python (version 2.6 is now built with Visual Studio 2008) or go find VS2003. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
