	Pardon?

	A compiler with which to build Python from source, or

	A compiler which builds native executables from Python programs?


	For the latter, I don't think one exists on any platform --
freeze may be the closest equivalent (as I recall, not having used it,
it embeds Python byte-code into a binary with the Python interpreter).

	For the former... I think folks are working on getting the
downloadable Borland C to compile it, the M$ VC should handle it with no
problems, and gcc probably can manage it.
