[python-win32] Re: Compile in windows using Microsoft Visual C v.6

[Mark English]

Not that you're interested but this is great news, since I was about to
backport all my Python C-extensions to VC 6 which would be a real pain.
Any timeline on this ? Is there a beta I can build with Vc7 (I don't
have any kind of CVS thanks to our firewall) ? Will it include the
win32all extensions built too (from building with Vc7 they seemed to
need more work, especially PythonWin).

Cheers,
mE
