Hi, I'm a (sort of) newbie to python and would like to install the PyEphem extension to Python. I'm using Python 2.4 I obtained PyEphem from: http://rhodesmill.org/brandon/projects/pyephem.html When i ran python setup.py install my error was: "error: Python was built with version 7.1 of Visual Studio, and extensions need to be built with the same version of the compiler, but it isn't installed" Browsing this group led me to the following URL where I could get (for free) the Visual C++ Toolkit 2003: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=272BE09D-40BB-49FD-9CB0-4BFA122FA91B&displaylang=en However I still see the same error when running python setup.py install. I know that Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 is the same as version 7.1, but is this the same as Visual Studio 7.1? If so, can Visual Studio 7.1 be obtained for free? If not, is there a workaround? I've seen suggestions in the group that you can recompile Python 2.4 using MinGW or some other c compiler. I'd be willing to do that, but do not know how to go about recompiling python. Advice on this would also be helpful. Thanks, James
