As this is on Windows, you'll also need to keep in mind that the standard Python 2.4[.x] distribution is built with MSVC 7.1, whereas Python 2.3.x distributions were built with MSVC 6. There are 2 different C runtime libraries involved, and the issue you see may be due to differences at this level rather than in the Python codebase. Python 2.4[.x] is still buildable with MSVC 6 (thanks to Raymond Hettinger), so if you have access to that compiler you can check this out. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew MacIntyre \ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Planning Branch \ tel: +61 2 6256 2812 Australian Broadcasting Authority \ fax: +61 2 6253 3277 -> "These thoughts are mine alone!" <--------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
