| Hi,
|
| I'm a (sort of) newbie to python and would like to install the PyEphem
| extension to Python.  I'm using Python 2.4
| I obtained PyEphem from:
|  http://rhodesmill.org/brandon/projects/pyephem.html
|
| When i ran python setup.py install my error was:
|  "error: Python was built with version 7.1 of Visual Studio, and
| extensions need to be built with the same version of the compiler, but
| it isn't installed"
|
| Browsing this group led me to the following URL where I could get (for
| free) the Visual C++ Toolkit 2003:
| 
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=272BE09D-40BB-49FD-9CB0-4BFA122FA91B&displaylang=en
|
| However I still see the same error when running
|  python setup.py install.
| I know that Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 is the same as version 7.1, but is
| this the same as Visual Studio 7.1?

It should work.

Did you follow the instructions as per
http://www.vrplumber.com/programming/mstoolkit/ ?

I've had success using that approach...

| If so, can Visual Studio 7.1 be obtained for free?
| If not, is there a workaround?
|
| I've seen suggestions in the group that you can recompile Python 2.4
| using MinGW or some other c compiler.  I'd be willing to do that, but
| do not know how to go about recompiling python.  Advice on this would
| also be helpful.
|
| Thanks,
| James
