I meant to build Python itself.

I asked because I was interested in trying your Traits package but could 
not use it with Python 2.4.  I don't have MSVC 7 and I was intimidated 
by the prospect of building the CTraits extension with either the free 
MS toolkit or mingw and munging the dlls to conform to the MSVC 7 formats.

I just wondered if Enthought's distro for Windows was gcc-based.
