Not yet. I have a spare machine and an always on connection. Would the 'right' development tools be needed ? (In the case of Microsoft they are a touch expensive I believe.) Any build process would do. I would prefer to see the official tools on the buildbot (i.e. VS.NET 2003), Man, that's a difficult (and expensive) piece of software to obtain, unless you're a student. I couldn't find a legal non-academic version for less than £100. I might hunt around though.

Shame. I suspect that hacking the free compilers to work would require more knowledge than I possess. Sorry.

but anything else that can build Python and pass the test suite could do as well.

One issue is that you also have to to work with me on defining the build steps: what sequence of commands to send in what order. For Unix, that is easy; for Windows, not so. Working with you wouldn't be a problem. Looks like the idea is a currently a bit of a dead dog though.

All the best,

Michael Foord
