Debugging C++ code called from Python 2.2 with Visual Studio.NET

[egodet@equisys.com]

Hi,
I'm trying to debug some VS native C++ code called from a python script
(version is 2.2).
For that, I added the _DEBUG macro in Setup.py but when I rebuild the
pyd file, I get a compilation error whereby it says that python22_d.lib
could not be found.

I've seen in various groups that python22_d.lib is not available for
download anymore but that it is easy to recompile. Could someone send
it to me, explain how to build it or, even better, both.

I expect that after that, if I recompile the python pyd file, I will be
able to attach a debugger to it. Could someone confirm this?

Cheers,
Emmanuel

PS: I'm new to Python and I'm using legacy code.

load the project file (under PCbuild), select the debug targets, and build them.

To elaborate on Frederick's advice, the source .tgzs available on
python.org contain everything you need to build the windows version,
excluding a few modules that require third-party dependancies (tkinter,
ssl, zip, bzip2 and probably a few others). You'll need VC6.0 as well
for 2.2.

I can't seem to be able to download
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.2/Python-2.2.tgz.
Do you know if I can find it elsewhere?
Thanks,
