Ver 2.3 install over 2.2?

Bob Gailer

Is it OK to install 2.3 in my python22 folder, thus preserving all the libs
and packages already installed, or do I have to reinstall all of them, or what?

You have to reinstall all of them. Actually, you might need to rebuild
them, as extension modules need to be recompiled.

Make sure you have VC6 installed, else you'll be unable to build extensions
for Python23. VC7 worked for building Python22 extensions, but no longer
(and if anyone can explain why, I'd love to know).

error: Python was built with version 6 of Visual Studio, and
extensions need to be built with the same version of the
compiler, but it isn't installed.

I'm reinstalling 2.2.3 so I can keep developing with Reportlab until I can
get hold of VC6 or a fix for 2.3.

VC7 did not work for building Python22 extensions. You end up linking
different versions of the CRT, and as soon as you pass FILE* from the
extension to Python, you get crashes.
