Is anybody maintaining the project files for Visual Studio 7.1?

Martin, Thomas and I all fiddle it when we notice it needs something. I view Martin as being the primary owner.

In recent checkins a new file was added (pystrtod.c) that isn't included in the project file yet.

Fixed now. I was running on Win98SE when that first got checked in, so fiddled the VC6 project files (in PC/VC6). Didn't have VC7.1 on that box.

Thanks!

I hesitate to make the checkin myself because I honestly don't understand which files are affected...

Just "the usual": used the GUI to add the new file to the pythoncore project.

Something I did to the project in response to some insistent messages at startup seems to have touched every single .proj file, which is one reason why I was hesitant to check those changes in.

test_anydbm fails, I think because of some problem with Sleepycat bsddb and/or our wrappers.

test_tcl doesn't get off the ground because it can't find tk84.dll.

Known problem, goes away when you install it.

All other "-u network,largefile" tests passed on WinXP, in both release and debug builds (although I haven't downloaded the codec test files, so those tests get skipped).

test_asynchat fails if you run it a *second* time, from .pyc/.pyo file instead of from scratch. This is a known problem with marshal not knowing how to deal with a float infinity (don't ask).

So is someone going to fix it?

test_zlib is much faster than it used to be <wink>.

There are a few other tests that are very slow, I believe test_thread is one. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
