Correct: that you miss VS 2003, or should request mingw. >> Forget about Visual Studio 8 and .NET 2.0. It won't help here. > > I only have .NET 1.1 and 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005 (8) installed.

Python 2.3 and before is compiled with VC6, Python 2.4 and 2.5 are compiled with VS 2003. You cannot compile extensions with a different compiler version because the CRT versions will clash (msvcrt4 vs. msvcr71 vs. msvcr8) Google for details, this has been discussed both technically and politically many times before.
