For a very simple module that's only a file or two, like posixmodule.c or the md5 module, you can simply add an appropriate line to Setup.in. But I vaguely recall that the 3.x bsddb module is a bunch of files -- if that's the case, I'm not sure what to do. For PCRE, I wrote a script which munges several source files into one big pypcre.c, but this is messy and probably was a mistake. I'm not sure what's involved in extending the system to support building in subdirectories of Modules/. (Maybe a line like "pcre pcre/pcre.c pcre/compile.c pcre/study.c ..." in Setup.in would just magically work?) --amk
