That would be a project, but his implication was that the compilers are usable as command line tools, so I'm confident it can be done. > Also, does this affect whether extensions can be compiled by Mingw? > It would be nice if people could continue building extensions on > Windows using free tools. I know noting about Mingw. Anyone who does please speak up if this would affect them or not. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
