Does this sound like a sensible approach, or are there any objections? Would it be possible to use VBScript instead? That should be available at any phase of the build process.

I'm much more comfortable to write the following C program than to parse patchlevel.h in VB. What would the advantage of VB be?

#include <stdio.h> #include "patchlevel.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv) { printf("#define FIELD3 %d\n", PY_MICRO_VERSION1000 + PY_RELEASE_LEVEL10 + PY_RELEASE_SERIAL); / some more fields needed */ return 0; }

While we are at it: At what point will we switch to VC7.1 for the Windows builds?

Hm, for 2.4, maybe.

Or should there 7.1 compiled .msi installers in parallel for the 2.3 line?
