Please, don't place it in windows\system32. If Python installer does it, I think it's a bug if we follow http://tinyurl.com/q20a (second to last paragraph.) Can't we have a copy in SB\bin directory instead? IANAL neither but MSVCR71.DLL is included in the Redist.txt file (search for it in VS.NET distro.) That file say nothing about restrictions on the distribution although I admit couldn't find the CLUF in my VS.NET installation to be completely sure. I know it means nothing but WinCvs and TortoiseSVN (just to name a few) distribute it too. BTW, I hope can help you with i18n again from this weekend on. _______________________________________________ spambayes-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes-dev
