Yeah, you installed the C# environment. Python is written in C, so you have to get Visual Studio C++ 2008. However a recent version of MinGW32 is sufficient to build most extensions. Christian Hi Christian, Thanks for your reply. In mean time, I discovered the C++ thing already ;-). Now I installed MinGW, but still the same happens. If I run the setup file, the same output comes on the command line and no pyd file is created... GRRR Any suggestions? Martijn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Problem building Python extension
Hi all, I'm trying to build my first python extensionon a win32 system. I followed the description in http://starship.python.net/crew/mwh/toext/your-first-extension.html, but after running C:\Python26\python first-setup.py build_ext -i nothing seems to happen and no file first.pyd is produced. The result from the cmd is the following: running build_ext building `first` extension error: None Does anyone have an idea what's going wrong? Thanks for replies in advance, Martijn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

IIRC, it is caused by the lack of a recognized installation VS 2008. You should either install VS 2008 (the express vesion is free) or make sure your VS 2008 is correctly installed. Building python 2.6 extensions with mingw is possible as well, but I think you need to build your own mingw (because python 2.6 requires msvcr90.dll) - maybe recent mingw have msvcrt90.dll included. cheers, David Thanks a lot for your reply.
