Hello, newbee here. I was looking for other solutions to other problems. However, in my research for building wxPython I read from the docs/build.html concerning the WIN crowd ... -- [quote] If you woudl rather use a different version of VisualStudio keep in mind that you'll also have to build Python and any other extension modules that you use with that compiler because a different version of the C runtime library is used. The stock Python 2.4 and 2.5 executables are built with MSVC 7.1, and the same rules apply to it.[/ quote] So... did you build your Python2.5?? or did you install the binaries?? It makes a big difference. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
