Summary: python20_d.dll missing
Initial Comment:
The file python20_d.dll is missing from the
win32-binary distribution.
side note: in python 1.5 this could be worked around
by linking to python15.lib manually. In 1.6 & 2.0 this
work around does not work.
(this is of course when python is embedded into a win32
application)

I'm getting the dreaded err msg >> LINK : fatal error
LNK1104: cannot open file "python21_d.lib"
Is there a fix for embedding into win32 apps?

Hmm. Guido, turns out we're already shipping the debug DLLs for the extension modules!

Closing in on 2Mb of fat I can cut out of the installer!
PSKOtron, no, thank you, but I'm not going to build a new installer just so "a couple people" have an easier time. That isn't cruelty <wink>, it's that thousands of people are waiting for more important things and my time (like yours) is limited. If someone wants to contribute such an installer, cool. Else the best I can manage is a no-time approach, such as putting all the _d files into a .zip file at release points and uploading that to an FTP site.

I would appreciate it if you can add it into a seperate installer for experts. At the moment I have to compile
all of python, and redistribute all the debug and non-debug lib's and dll's to a couple people responsible for debugging my program. Basicly I used to use the windows installer for the debuggers, now I have to make my own, and
install it manually to each programmer's system.
I believe linux distributions solved this problem by releasing: somelib-1.0 && somelib-1.0-dev
:)
Thanks for all your hard work in python... its helped *a lot* in my project.

Sorry, I won't fix this. The debug DLL is huge, and you'd need more than just python20_d.dll -- you'd need the _d.pyd version of all the extension modules. This would just be a waste of installer size.
If you have a need for the debug DLLs, you should download the sources and rebuild with debug mode from source. After all you must be debugging something so you must already be using VC++ so rebuilding won't be a problem; see PCbuild/readme.txt for elaborate instructions.

The debug DLL is a megabyte now, and I personally don't want to bloat the installer with it given that not one user in 1,000 will have any use for it. Perhaps we could make it available as a separate download for experts?
