With a few caveats, mingw will simply work with the standard 2.4 (and presumably 2.5) interpreter. We distribute mingw set up to do this with our "Enthought Edition" Python distribution. http://code.enthought.com/enthon/ -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
