| As far as I can tell, the python3dll.vcxproj is bitrot and should be removed from pcbuild.sln. It's a makefile target project that invokes ..\PC\python3.mak, which builds a target named python3.dll; however, pythoncore.vxcproj builds python34[_d].dll as a proper VS project. (Additionally, the python3dll.vxcproj has no Debug configuration, which is what brought it to my attention in the first place.) Christian/Martin: is this python3dll.vcxproj and resulting python3.dll still used or can it be safely removed from pcbuild.sln? | ||

| Yes, it's still used. python3.dll is different from python3X.dll, and specified in PEP 384. It will remain in Python until Python 4 comes along (and then likely be replaced by python4.dll). | ||

| Thanks Martin, I wasn't aware of that PEP. Explains why there isn't a debug configuration, too. |
