Just out of interest: out of the box Python.org distutils is incompatible with recent versions of MinGW. If Python-xy distributes MinGW (and it works) then they're either creating a special patched MinGW set up or patching distutils. I don't want to install Python-xy myself since it'll clobber my existing Python installation but could you answer the following for me: 1) What gcc version did Python-xy install for you? 2) Does the distutils.cygwincompiler module it installs contain the following lines (around about line 300) specifically with the '-mno-cygwin' option? self.set_executables(compiler='gcc -mno-cygwin -O -Wall', compiler_so='gcc -mno-cygwin -mdll -O -Wall', compiler_cxx='g++ -mno-cygwin -O -Wall', linker_exe='gcc -mno-cygwin', linker_so='%s -mno-cygwin %s %s' Oscar -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
