Newbie question on C extensions!

[Prabu]

Thanks, is there a way in which I can use my LCC compiler instead of the
MSVC compiler? I find this file msvccompiler.py in the distutils, from where
I suspect this reference to be coming from. Can you change/replace this file
to use the LCC compiler rather than look for the MSVC one?

cheers
