I have used Terry's code to write a script to find all of the the .pyc
files on my system that were compiled with the 2.3 version of the
compiler, and I have removed these files.
But my underlying problem still occurs: somewhere somebody is calling
for the 2.3 version of the Python vm .dll and not finding it. This is
happening under Pydev/Eclipse and my only recourse is to blow Eclipse
away using Task Manager.
So maybe I have a .pyd file somewhere that is a 2.3 extension.
Is there a way to examine .pyd files to see if they were built for
Python 2.3?
Finally, are there any other possible file extension types that I should
be looking at?
Thanks,
Don.
