Open the program, press F1 and read the documentation provided by its vendor, Microsoft. > I'm assuming the line "python setup.py bdist_wininst" > isn't sufficient since it was an answer to my somewhat naive question. Why not? As F.L. said, if the setup.py is properly built, doing so should compile and link all the required modules. Note that it's not *required* to use Visual Studio to compile Python extensions; any decent compiler would do [provided it links against the same RTL as used by VS] This recent blog post contains step-by-step instructions on using free tools to compile python extensions: <http://boodebr.org/main/python/build-windows-extensions> -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
