No, it uses an incompatible statically linked C++ runtime. We need to use msvcp90.dll with Python 2.6/2.7. > As for amd64 - I do not know if there is a mingw64 release for windows > already. If there isn't, there should be ;-) There is. But it does not have an import library for msvcr90.dll. It's omitted from mingw-w64. Also libpython26.a is missing from Python on Windows 64. > Also, VS2010 should work as well - doesn't it? The problem with Microsoft's compilers is that they just let you pick between two CRTs (single- or multi-threaded). We need to specify the version number as well. So no, VS2010 will not work.
