Amaury Forgeot d'Arc added the comment: Is it permitted to allow python compile with older compilers, even with some functions missing?
This patch already skips some functions not included with VC6: socket.ioctl, msvcrt.getwch &co. Even socket.RCVALL_IPLEVEL is not available on my installation of VS8 (Professional Edition). Even if the result is only a subset of the official python (as shown when running the test suite), it may still be useful, when embedded in legacy applications for example, where installing a new SDK is not always possible. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2065> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
