Besides, aren't there tools available that can strip most of the ANSI-ness out of ANSI C? (Un)Protoize? For those (few?) people who are really still stuck using a K&R compiler I would think those tools, perhaps supplemented with some patch files maintained outside the main Python source tree, would be sufficient.
I mentioned ansi2knr.c in an earlier post. It's a small utility, and can be distributed with the Python core (it's GPL'd, but since it isn't linked with Python, that's not a problem). this is used by ghostscript and the ijg jpeg library, among others: ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/ghost/ansi2knr.c (or via http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/) Cheers /F fredrik@pythonware.com http://www.pythonware.com
