newbie question: python & nurbs, package compatilbility issues

[jelle feringa]

Dear all,

I'm trying to use Runar Tenfjord's nurbs package, which is compiled for
python 2.1, and I am running 2.3.
I extracted and installed the installer package, which seems fine at first,
but as soon as I run the script it crashes and popsup: 'this application
failed to start because python21.dll was not found' 

Unfortunately I wasn't able to re-compile the original .c file in the
package, when I try to install the source version I get this error:

error: Python was built with version 6 of Visual Studio, and extensions need
to be built with the same version of the compiler, but it isn't installed.

Since I'm not experienced in either compiling nor that I have Visual Studio
I'm stuck...

Any ideas?

The package is to be found here:

Regards,

Jelle.
