I just did this locally to all my .vcproj files for .pyds:

- BaseAddress="0x1e000000" + RandomizedBaseAddress="2" This was partly out of curiosity, and partly because it was quicker doing that than finding a new unique base address to use for a new module I added to my local tree. Rebuilt everything and ran a full regression test, and everything passed. What am I missing? Do we have parts of Python that rely on finding modules at explicit base addresses? Is BaseAddress a relic from the past? Christian or Martin?

An explicit base address speeds up the loading of shared extension modules a bit. Checkout PC/dllbase_nt.txt
