You also need to build Python itself in debug mode - that creates python_d.* AFAIK, there has been no decision about the official Python 2.6 compiler and VS2003 is still the "official" one for 2.5... Cheers, Mark

To that end, I purchased a Visual C++ .Net Deluxe Learning Edition Book (which is probably the cheapest way to get the Visual C++ compiler required). Following the instructions in the source distribution, I was able to build a debug version of python from source (unfortunately, I know very little about C/C++). I checked out the python win32 source files, and am trying to build a debug version of this as well, but I'm not having much success. Though matter where I place the main directory with the win32 source files, it still fails to compile - I get an error: LINK: fatal error LINK1104: cannot open file 'python24_d.lib' [I'm trying to build using: "python setup.py -q build -debug"] This file exists in the directory I compiled the debug version of the main python distribution, but I'm not sure what I need to do so that the setup program can find it. Any help/direction would be appreciated. Thanks, Gerrat
