Re: [PyDB2-discuss] PyDB2 install .NET SDK framework question

[Dan S. <de...@gm...>]

Hi David:

If you're trying to do all of this with the freely available MS VC++
compilers, I wish you the best of luck. If I recall correctly from my
own attempts to accomplish this around December 2005, the problem is
that the core Python team decided that they weren't interested in
making Python itself compilable with either the free MS VC++
command-line-only compiler or the free version of MS Visual Studio
(2005?)... which trickles down to making it really damned hard to
compile PyDB2 itself.

If you can compile core Python with your setup, then you're probably
well on your way (and certainly further ahead than I was!).
