am i right?

You should test that. I'm not sure whether it will crash (in particular, it might not on load), but it might crash, or fail in strange ways (e.g. when it checks whether something is a string, and decides it is not, because it is looking at the other PyString_Type)

and if that's the case, i can stop fricking about with msvcr80 :)

If so, I think there is little point in submitting patches to the Python bug tracker. I'm -1 on supporting two different-but-similar builds on Windows. I could accept a different build process, but the outcome must be the same either way.

(of course, msvcr80 is irrelevant, because Python had never been using that officially)

Regards, Martin
