Feel free to report any missing binary extensions on CodePlex as a feature request. Seo's example is a simpler one. Harry is working on is getting legal approval for accepting community contributions into the modules. Once that's done (no ETA, I'm afraid), Seo would sign a contributor agreement and we could include his pyexpat compatibility shim. The sqlite example is more complicated for two reasons: 1) There wouldn't be any point in doing it unless we could distribute the referenced third-party project as well. This probably gives Harry the opportunity for a whole new round of quality time with lawyers. 2) The DLL in question is mixed-mode, so we need a story for how to properly load the functionality when running as a 64-bit process. -- Curt Hagenlocher [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
