.... thinking about this some more... posixmodule.c is linked (by default) into pythonNN.dll, thus making pythonNN.dll totally dependent on a version of msvcrt. decoupling posixmodule.c from pythonNN.dll leaves the possibility to make python independent of msvcrt versioning. it would need to be a custom-compiled .pyd module, due to the early dependency. i'll see if this is possible. l. _______________________________________________ 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
