the files where you want them after unpacking. What I upload will be an exact image of the build directory structure. Most feedback I've gotten is that people want exactly that, because they *want* to compile Python

I'd not thought of that.
My either. I must admit mild surprise at that. If people want the debug files in the same tree as the build tree, it seems all they are trying to do is avoid the initial huge build. If they intend compiling, why are they asking for the binaries? My experience with people wanting debug binaries is that they either don't want to, or can not build. When people need debug binaries, they go one of 2 routes - try and find pre-built debugs, or build them themselves. I can't see when people ever do both. For the last year or so, I have been making Debug builds of win32all available to registered users. This has always been made available in the "install" structure - quite a bit different than the source/build structure. I've never been asked for anything different. Just-FWIW ly, Mark.
