I got scared by an earlier message that said something like "there is currently no free compiler that will generate extension modules for Python 2.4".
Fortunately it seems that meant no free *Microsoft* compiler, and doesn't include gcc.
That statement would have been false in any case. It would have talked only about the official binary distribution; if you build Python yourself with a different compiler (say, Borland, or cygwin), you can certainly also build extensions with that compiler. Regards, Martin
