Not pure luck; all 2.6 modules require 9.0 msvcrt. Even so, you can run into trouble if a file manager, say, which uses an older version of msvcrt, loads the TortoiseHg extension. This is how we discovered it in the first place. Manifests make sure the correct version is loaded. See also http://bugs.python.org/issue4120 None of the python-shipped (at least python.org 2.6 package) pyd-files have manifests. /Sune ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
