Re: [PyOpenGL-Users] Python 2.7 and msvcr71.dll

[Stephen H. <sho...@us...>]

i think the dll comes from visual studio 2005 or 2008. The newer versions of
python do not come with these files I think. It gave me trouble trying to
install python on windows 7 so I am stuck using python on my laptop with
windows xp since my laptop has visual studio.
