I've built python extensions in MingW before, against the stock libpython.dll. And it worked.

Microsoft warns that mixing msvcrt versions is dangerous. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
