I don't know anything about Python implementation internals, but is something like this possible? I've no idea, my previous post pretty much exhausted my entire knowledge of the building of Python extensions for Windows :) But that sounds like a great topic for python-ideas or python-dev... and a PEP, and a lengthy period of bikeshedding, and lots of people telling you it isn't possible, and lots of other people telling you it's easy...

And is anyone aware of any ways to get around this restriction so that i can write an extension module that will work with a binary release of python? 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
[python-win32] Using pip to install pywin32
Has anyone successfully pip installed the pywin32 package? I'm having some trouble with it at the moment. In theory, it should be easier to instruct people to type pip install pywin32 than go to the sourceforge download page, pick the right installer, and run it; but the installer is currently failing. Full log is available if people want it, but what I'm seeing in it is a number of lines like: Analyzing links from page http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/ It never gets to the point of searching the build-specific pages, eg: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20219/ Is there a way to tell pip how to find the file? All advice gratefully received! ChrisA ___ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
