[Baypiggies] p2exe combined with building C extension forpython on WinXP with Visual C++ 2005

[Giles Brown]

In the past I've managed to get extensions built with mingw to play ok with 
the standard  build of python, but that was for Python 2.3 so things may
have changed...

http://www.mingw.org/MinGWiki/index.php/Python%20extensions

Might be worth investigating.

I was kind of avoiding to rebuild python with 2005 because I'm afraid to run
into other problems and I would also have to recompile all the libraries
that I use, namely numpy, PIL and wxpython which I never compiled on windows
(and that may bring me to recompile the core libraries on which these
wrappers are based, namely blas (and all the other mathematical libraries
that numpy uses) and wx as well, ...). I have the feeling there must be a
simpler way.

Building python with 2005 might help ?
