Googling around some more, I came across this:
http://jove.prohosting.com/iwave/ipython/pyMinGW.html#download
Specifically, it has a download called pyMinGW-bin-minipy-2.5a2.1
which has a MingW folder with a python25.dll inside it, that (as far
as I understand) was compiled with MingW and therefo

Yes, might very well technically be against the GPL, but then, every
program compiled with MSVC would be against the GPL (since they all
need that DLL.. at least when compiled in the way the python DLL is
compiled by Python's Windows devs).
So two problems:
1. Does Microsoft allow re-distribution

I doubt that that is compatible with the GPL
Hi all,
there seems to be some irritation about the python version that is shipped
within the windows package. Here are some facts:
1.
Python 2.3 is completely open source without any restrictions.
Python 2.4 / 2.5 is compiled with a microsoft runtime dll that needs to be
redistributed. R
