This is what someone wrote on 1-21-2007 to this help site about this pain in the a... MSVCR71 stuff. " I believe this problem doesn't exist. Licensees of Python are permitted to redistribute mscvr71.dll, as long as they redistribute it in order to support pythonxy.dll. The EULA says # You also agree not to permit further distribution of the # Redistributables by your end users except you may permit further # redistribution of the Redistributables by your distributors to your # end-user customers if your distributors only distribute the # Redistributables in conjunction with, and as part of, the Licensee # Software, you comply with all other terms of this EULA, and your # distributors comply with all restrictions of this EULA that are # applicable to you. In this text, "you" is the licensee of VS 2003 (i.e. me, redistributing msvcr71.dll as part of Python 2.5), and the "Redistributable" is msvcr71.dll. The "Licensee Software" is "a software application product developed by you that adds significant and primary functionality to the Redistributables", i.e. python25.dll. IANAL; this is not legal advise." jim-on-linux http://www.inqvista.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
