I downlaoded and installed http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.1/python-2.4.1.msi
I'm trying to build an extension using SWIG 1.3.24 and the linker needs python24_d.lib (I do not have the DLL either). I've not found it in any of the downloads. So I tried to download the source to build it myself. Of http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.1/Python-2.4.1.tar.bz2 and http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.1/Python-2.4.1.tgz, WinZip (9.0 SR1) just says "Error reading header after processing 0 entries". Additionally, I've had no joy downloading the unzipper (ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/bzip2/v102/bzip2-102-x86-win32.exe) from the site cited for the unzipper (http://sources.redhat.com/bzip2/). It flashed up a black console window momentarily. Oh, this is sooooo frustrating! :-( Can anyone point me in the right direction? And then I can get to grips with my work. tia Bill -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
