I'm working on embedding Python on Win32, and I just use the binary
installer for Python. But I don't use the Windows "debug" mode anyway; I'd
have to build debug versions of Numeric, Tkinter, Tcl/Tk, BLT, ad nauseam.
Instead, I use the "release" project and change the settings so that it
generates full debug information. Since the errors I find during debugging
are invariably in my code, not Python's, I don't need to trace into Python
anyway.
