Wholly unnecessary flame. (was Re: pyXML!)

[jurgen.defurne at philips.com]

Easy :
Install CYGWIN
Run bash (just think that you are on Unix)
Gunzip/tar the sources
Run ./configure
Do standard post-configuration
In the makefile and Modules/makefile, change the line EXE= to EXE=.exe
Run make
Run make test
Run make install
It's as easy as that

The only thing that doesn't seem to work, is the use of dynamic libraries.

Regards,

Jurgen

Well, you could try to build Python with Borland C++ repeatedly with
blunt instruments while crooning, but I've heard it's rather painful.

I suspect the reason Cygwin isn't being used is that YOU HAVEN'T PORTED
PYTHON TO IT, YOU LAZY BUM.  I'd be delighted to have a version of
Python I could build on the Win32 boxes I must occasionally use without
installing VC++.  So get your butt in gear.  :)
