It would be nice to get this issue resolved out for 2.6.4: http://bugs.python.org/issue4120 The problem is that extensions built with 2.6.x will not work when used with a User-only installation of Python on machines that don't already have the MS VC90 CRT DLLs installed system-wide. There's a patch available that appears to work, but someone with more manifest-Windows-DLL-fu than me will need to have a look at it. One possible approach would be to use the patch in 2.6.4 and then continue digging deeper until 2.6.5 is released. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Oct 13 2009) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try our new mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
