If there is going to be any quick 2.6.4 release, can you consider a fix
to the building of extensions under Windows (
http://bugs.python.org/issue4120 )?
Extensions built without this patch applied will not work if the MSVC9
runtimes are installed locally (in the Python folder) instead of
system-wide (WinSxS).
PIL and Matplotlib now use this patch when building extensions. But many
others (e.g. PyGame) still create problematic extensions.
