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.
I'm not in favor of including this in 2.6.4 since this wasn't a regression in 2.6.3. However if Martin von Loewis approves of the patch and feels strongly that it should go in 2.6.4, I'll allow it.
