Can't check right now - but could it be that the standalone executables get an extra copy of this library in their binary directory, as part of the build process? > A quick attempt to compile Python from scratch using Visual C++ 8.0 > produced a python.exe, but it doesn't run (the debug / send report / > don't send report box pops up). Has someone tried this before? Yes; a patch to fix this problem has been checked into the trunk (but I have no plans for backporting it to the 2.4 branch, as 2.4 will be compiled with VC7.1 "forever" - i.e. until its final release). Regards, Martin P.S. I currently also plan to build Python 2.5 with VC 7.1. P.P.S. You do know that this configuration (extension compiled with VS2005, Python compiled wit VS.NET2003) is not supported, right? _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
