Hi Hasanyasin | Jesus,

Run: python setup.py bdist --formats=wininst

Followed your instructions using the free (and no longer available)
MSVC++ 2003 Toolkit...and get the message:

"error: Python was built with Visual Studio 2003; extensions must be
built with a compiler than can generate compatible binaries. Visual
Studio 2003 was not found on this system. If you have Cygwin
installed, you can try compiling with MingW32, by passing "-c mingw32"
to setup.py."

Dont have Visual Studio 2003. Tried with Visual Studio 2008 with the
same result...thats the reason i was trying with mingw  - but since
the headers are incompatible... :(

Help!
