Well, I narrowed the culprit down to Windows DEP. I had been having
trouble with it for some time now, with it raising an error for nearly
every program I ran so I just disabled it completely and Python now
compiles fine. Thank you all for the assistance.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 13, 2009 at 13:42, Paul Moore <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:p.f.moore@gmail.com">p.f.moore@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>FWIW, I did:<br>
<br>
svn co <a href="http://svn.python.org/projects/python/tags/r31/" target="_blank">http://svn.python.org/projects/python/tags/r31/</a> py31<br>
<br>
Open pcbuild in Visual C++ 2008 Express. OK on the warning about<br>
solution folders.<br>
<br>
Right click "python" and choose "Build".<br>
<br>
Works OK here. Also works if I download Python-3.1.tgz from <a href="http://python.org" target="_blank">python.org</a><br>
and unpack it using (command line) bsdtar. I wonder - did you use<br>
WinZip to unpack the archive? That has some sort of brain-damaged<br>
"Smart" CRLF conversion for tar files, which may have screwed up your<br>
files.<br>
