Hi all,
A new port for NT is available. This version has the following features:
* Built as a DLL, making embedding easier
* Supports compiled modules in DLL's, external to the main Python DLL.
* Support for winsock in the socket module

In addition, there is also a GUI version available. The GUI version is
basically an extended and embedded application. Most of the GUI
functionality (including the command execution, command recall etc)
are actually built in Python code. The GUI version has alot of
Microsoft MFC available, and gradually much of the win32 API.

Available are:
* Intel binaries of both console Python and GUI Python
* Source changes and makefiles to build Python from a standard
1.0.2 (and maybe 1.0.3?) distribution
* Full source code to the GUI. This requires MSVC for NT.

At this stage, I would like to hear from someone who is willing to
receive mails from me, and place the packages into an FTP site.
Unfort, I dont have a friendly FTP site, and I dont really want
to mail these packages too often.

Please dont mail me for the packages. Hopefully I will post again
soon giving an FTP site for these files. Please do mail me for any
further info.

Regards,

Mark
