Re: [Python-sybase-misc] Installing python-sybase on Windows XP

[Sébastien S. <sa...@us...>]

Hi Jeffrey,

I do not use windows myself, but as far as I know you should use the 
same compiler to compile python-sybase than the one that was used to 
compile Python.

python-sybase uses distutils for compilation in a standard way so you 
will probably experience the same problem with any python package which 
contains a C extension and you can follow any existing tutorial on 
compiling a C extension for Python in windows to compile python-sybase.

Here is a good start:
http://docs.python.org/extending/windows.html
http://boodebr.org/main/python/build-windows-extensions

regards
