Looking for some tips on getting started with Cython development under Windows. I am using Python 2.7.2.
After reading the Cython documentation [1] it appears that one has a choice of using either the MinGW or MS Visual C compiler. 1. Are there any issues associated with using the MinGW compiler and mixing C runtimes? This seems the be the simplest and fastest way to get started with the tradeoff being the need to distribute another C runtime (in addition to the MS C runtime required for the Python interpreter itself) 2. Regarding the MS Visual C compiler - can one use the C compiler that ships with one of the free Express editions of Visual Studio or must one purchase a full version of MS Visual Studio to get the appropriate compiler? 3. Which version (2005, 2008, 2010, ...) of MS Visual Studio is required to compile Cython libraries compatible with the 32 bit version of Python 2.7.2? Thank you, Malcolm [1] http://docs.cython.org/src/quickstart/install.html
