In case you missed it, I said I have windows XP.  Windows XP

at least that is what is reported to me by calling setup.py.  If I was 
using linux, which I currently am not, it'd be a different story.  
Additionally, GCC isn't available for windows XP, only MinGW, the port, 
and I don't know that much about it to use it running on a Windows 
platform.  Furthermore, I was asking for help on an extension, not an 
economical question about my programming environment.


Well, since I don't use Windows XP, I did not know this fact. I wasn't trying to offend you or argue with you, I was just flat out curious why you had to go out and buy Visual Studio.
