[Python-Dev] Integrating Expat

[Martin von Loewis]

[I know I've asked this before, but Fred wanted me to ask it again :-]

What do you think about an integration of Expat into Python, to be
always able to build pyexpat (and with the same version also)?
Which version of Expat would you use? Would you put the expat files
into a separate directory, or all into modules?

Here is my proposal: Integrate Expat 2.95.2 for release together with
Python 2.2; into an expat subdirectory of Modules (taking only the lib
files of expat).

This would affect build procedures on all targets; in particular,
pyexpat would not link to a shared expat DLL, but incorporate the
object files.

Martin
