Python Windows Source?

[Paradox]

This seems like a simple question but I keep looking and can't seem to
find it anywhere. Do I have to check it out directly from CVS. Is
there anywhere I can download the source already compiled. All I
really want is to be able to compile PIL.

Thanks Joey

I don't believe there is a distribution which contains object files
(compiled, but not yet linked). You can get the Python source code from
here:

http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.3.1/Python-2.3.1.tgz

(that's a gzipp'ed tar file), or the Windows binary installer from here:

http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.3.1/Python-2.3.1.exe

There is nothing in between.

If you want to compile an extension like PIL on Windows, then everything
needed is part of the normal installer. Assuming you installed Python to
c:\Python23, then you'll need the include files at c:\Python23\inc lude
and the import library at c:\Python23\lib s\python23.lib.
