[Python-bugs-list] [Bug #114846] python20_d.dll missing

Tue, 19 Sep 2000 23:41:40 -0700

Bug #114846, was updated on 2000-Sep-19 19:04
Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Project: Python
Category: Windows
Status: Open
Resolution: None
Bug Group: Platform-specific
Priority: 5
Summary: python20_d.dll missing

Details: The file python20_d.dll is missing from the
win32-binary distribution.
side note: in python 1.5 this could be worked around
by linking to python15.lib manually. In 1.6 & 2.0 this
work around does not work.
(this is of course when python is embedded into a win32
application)

Guido, I assigned this to you just to get your attention:  what do you think?  (MarkH, if you're listening, you too!)

The debug DLL is a megabyte now, and I personally don't want to bloat the installer with it given that not one user in 1,000 will have any use for it.  Perhaps we could make it available as a separate download for experts?
