    How to build Python modules on windows?

    Hi,

    how can I build python modules on windows? I tried to build numarray[0]
    using Microsoft Visual C++ 2003 Toolkit, but got the following error:

    ---
    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.
    ---

    So do I need to buy Visual Studio 7.1 to be able to build python modules
    on windows? That would explain why there are so few binary packages
    available. If this is true, has the python community considerred
    switching to compile the standard python distribution using the freely
    available compiler from Microsoft?

    Thanks in advance for any hints!

    Markus


    [0]: I do not need to install numarray, but find a decent way to package
    and build self-made extensions and use numarray here as an example

      Are you sure you have setup the environment variables before you build?

      Here is a reference: "Building Python Extensions with the MS Toolkit
      Compiler" (http://www.vrplumber.com/programming/mstoolkit/)

      I'm usually annoyed by IDEs because, for instance, they don't use VIM
      as an editor. Since I'm hooked to that, all IDEs I've used so far have
      failed to impress me.

          Thanks for the pointer. The page states at the beginning:

          "Note that this document represents the findings of a very limited set
          of tests with what is essentially an unsupported approach to building
          extensions. You should expect to find bugs. No warranty is made that
          the approach outlined is safe or appropriate."

          This raises the question: What is the 'supported' way of building
          extensions on Windows? Do I need Visual Studio for that?

          Thanks in advance,

          Markus
