I'm sure this is obvious to most, but I wanted to make sure to point out that this extra complication with compiled python extensions is referring to a Windows environment. The other available platforms don't really share this same level of complication with needing to match a compiler that was used for the specific Autodesk python. Just making sure to identify the platform specific responses from the general ones. On 9/10/2014 12:06 AM, "Jack Straw" <[email protected]> wrote:
