[martin@v.loewis.de] > Repeating my question: How can I hand-force a config symbol to True on > NT+ and to False on W9x? It seemed like a rhetorical question in context <wink>, but if it's serious then offhand I'm not sure. If it's something we agree is desirable, then it needs to be a runtime decision on Windows (given that Python supports this stuff under NT+ but not (yet) under Win9x, and we only ship one Windows binary). One way to distinguish between NT+ and Win9x at runtime is in the module initialization for winsound.c. It's easy in C but exceedingly non-obvious. A more principled way would be to test for the existence of a relevant system DLL function; I expect only Mark would know whether there is such a beast in this case.
