using weave with Windows

[Jean-Baptiste Richet]

Hello,

weave could be highly usefull to me, but I can't have it work correctly 
on my PC, and I can't understand the error message. Could you help me ?
I installed the latest zip package by "python setup.py install", on a 
python 2.3 installation (OS = Windows ME), and here is a result when 
trying it :
=========================
IDLE 1.0
 >>> import weave
 >>> a = 123
 >>> weave.inline('printf("%d\\n",a);',['a'])
Exception exceptions.AttributeError: "DbfilenameShelf instance has no 
attribute 'writeback'" in

===========================
The gcc I use comes from MinGW and is version 3.2. I tried out gcc 2.95, 
and it was nearly the same (error at the same place, but 'cc' was 
blaimed). I tried cygwin, and it was not different. I tried python 2.2, 
and the result was similar.

Any idea ?
thanks a lot for your help.
