Tim Golden: > I'm not entirely sure why you think Pyrex should "contain a compiler".
I think lot of Win users (computational biologists?), even people that know how to write good Python code, don't even know how to install a C compiler. >I'm fairly sure it's fine with MingW< (In the past?) I think you have to tweak it a bit. --------------- sturlamolden: >And although it may come as a surprise to you, Pyrex IS a compiler.< I meant a compiler that spits out the final executable a person can click on. >Being written in pure Python, Pyrex is equally easy to use on Windows and >Linux.< Or maybe equally difficult :-) The computational biology students I was with think PythonWin is "easy" enough (or take a look at the "Processing" Java-like language user interface). Lowering entry difficulties is positive. Can things be made simpler for newbies? Bye, bearophile -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
