Glad you discovered that. > > On windows we should probably check the version of Python and adjust the > name accordingly. The implication of some mailing list results I googled for after seeing your above post, is that Windows Python has supported *.pyd for many versions. So that python version check should not be needed. Therefore, please go ahead and change our build system so the Windows extension module name is always _plplotc.pyd. > Also, we might consider installing the Python binding > to "C:\PythonX\lib\site-packages\" instead of > InstallPrefix\lib\site-packages. That's not what is done on the Unix side of things. The $prefix...site-packages installation location in that case allows our users to build and install PLplot without root privileges. I assume root privileges mean nothing on the Windows side of things, but nevertheless I would prefer to keep the Windows installation location consistent with the Unix installation location.
