Python-MinGW 2.5.1v2 now available ---------------------------------- Python-MinGW 2.5.1v2 is now available. It is available for download at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=182839 . Target Audience --------------- Windows developers who want to compile Python with the MinGW compilers; Linux developers who want a convenient way to download and build a Python environment with lots of add-on modules; What is Python-MinGW? --------------------- Python-MinGW is a set of patches to the python source distribution that can be used to build a Win32 version of python using 'configure' and 'make'. It requires Cygwin to provide a unix-like build environment and the MinGW compiler toolchain for generation of win32 executables. The companion Makefiles package will download and compile the zlib, bzip2, openssl, gdbm, and sqlite libraries. The package can also download and build a number of other python modules after the python build is complete. In addition to driving the win32 build, it is useful for downloading, building, and installing the add-on pieces when building on Linux.
