secondly, i want a python25.lib which i can use to cross-compile modules for poor windows users _despite_ sticking to my principles and keeping my integrity as a free software developer.
If this eventually leads to being able to compile Python software for Windows under Wine (using for example, py2exe) it would make my life a lot easier.
You can already do that: just install windows python under wine.
i tried that a few months ago - the builder requires the MS installer, which segfaulted on my installation of wine (i installed it using winetricks) which left me flummoxed because other people report successful use of MSI.
Hm, I could definitely install python - I have python in wine ATM. wine python -c 'import sys; print sys.version' -> 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Feb 21 2008, 13:11:45) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] IIRC, I could build numpy on it, which is far from a trivial package from a build POV :) I think it crashes on wine, though - which I why I did not pursued it so far. But I believe python itself at least is usable in wine, depending on what you are trying to do. David
