It's going to be better, starting from Python 3.5; Microsoft is guaranteeing a measure of binary compatibility for future compiler versions. Unfortunately the guarantee requires some internal changes, so it's moving forward only, not backward. The fate of Python 2.7 is very much up in the air, because the compiler that was used for 2.7.0 won't be supported in 2020 (I think it might be already out of support), so there's a big question of whether or not to change compilers in the middle of a minor version. Neither option is good. ChrisA _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
