Mark: > Which on Windows often ends up telling you that it can't find vcvarsall.bat I am well aware that Windows users rarely have compilers available. Perhaps neither of you realized that I was responding to Mark's comment that, "I confess I don't understand how *nix people endure having to compile code instead of having a binary install." On Unix systems most of the time people never invoke a compiler directly to install from source. Heck, they often don't need to download directly, as "pip install <whatever>" takes care of all that drudgery. Skip -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
