*** Creating Python Extensions Using Borland's Free Compiler V2.0*** I am pleased to announce a set of step-by-step instructions and examples to create extensions using the free Borland Command Line Compiler with the standard Python Windows Binary Distribution. This information can be found at http://www.cyberus.ca/~g_will/pyExtenDL.shtml . Version 3.0 updates the linking library to Python 2.0 and removes an obsolete patch for the Python 1.5.2 config.h file. I have also added a section about using VIDE (http://www.objectcentral.com/), a free and useful IDE for Borland and other compilers. ********************************************************************** ABSTRACT This paper describes the method used to create Python Extensions using the Borland 5.5 C++ Compiler (BCC). This command line compiler is available free from http://www.borland.com/bcppbuilder/freecompiler/. I describe the steps that are necessary to produce the extension from the C source code and how to set up the associated files for the compiler and linker. These extensions work with the standard Windows Distribution of Python. The process used to produce the extension is very easy and consists of running a simple batch file that I provide as part of this package. A section is provided on how to create extensions using VIDE to make it even easier. I also have some examples and a short reference section at the end of this paper that may be helpful.
