Hi Jim,
I'm not sure that it would be the complete answer, but could you zip me
python24_d.(lib/dll/exp) ?
We are not on VC7.1 (our customer has a mountain of legacy code) and I do
not want to be incompatible with them. I will see if I can run MSVC6
alongside VC7.1 but have to put customer compatibility firts (I have tried
to edge them on but without success).
Many thanks
Bill

barfs on Python-2.4.1.tar, cannot download bzip2
Hi Bill,
Python 2.4 requires VC7.1 I just ran into this recently. Once I
installed VC7.1, I could easily compile the Python source to create a
debug lib.
Winzip should be able to read the python source tarball... There is
one trick though. Once you download it, it might get renamed to
python.tar.gz.tar and the trick is to rename the file's extension to
tar.gz or (my preference) .tgz.
If it really is a bzip2 file, then you'll need some sort of bunzip. I
use the cygnus version, but I don't remember having to do anything out
of the way for the python source.
