It is not clear whether distributing a py2exe'd application is "redistributing Python" (which would mean that including mscv71.dll = would be legit) or not, but it is completely clear that the *free* Microsoft compilers *do not* include permission to redistribute any of the = included .dlls. Downloading the free compilers (or various other things; the .NET = framework, for example) does give you a legitimate way of getting the .dll, which = then any application can use. But it most definitely does not give you any distribution rights - that only comes with the purchase of a Microsoft compiler. (Many of the python developers have legitimate copies of the non-free Microsoft compilers, so do have the redistribution rights, which is why = it can be included with Python itself). =3DTony.Meyer |

There is a project to make the python source code compatible with the mingw compiler - but it does require patching the source code. You ought to be able to find this with google fairly easily.

Some one else pointed out recently that msvcr71 is included in the FREE MS 7 compiler and .NET download (~130MB), so it is available for redistribution, just an extra pain.
