Hi Lisandro,
I have just edited the Cython Wiki as you asked. I am sorry that it is late and
also that I have been unable to test the patch that you kindly suggested to me.
As I now get over 20 emails a day from this mailing list I am going to remove
myself. I just wanted to say thank you for the help! I am sure I will return to
Cython in a few years when I have matured as a programmer! If you wish to get
in contact about any developments with vcvarsall.bat or my editing of the wiki,
please email me on my personal address: [email protected].
Thanks again,
Sam
