Even when I created a 'distutils.cfg' file as above.... it wasn't working.

When I also added :
[build_ext]
compiler=mingw32

it worked.

Hmmm.....

You seen the weave project - allows you to have C functions inline with 
your python - which are dynamically compiled at runtime.. what about a 
Pyrex version of weave...

Or *even* the 'cint' - c interpreter (which understands enough C to run 
itself - about 90% of ANSI C and C++ it reckons) !! What about a *pyrex* 
interpreter ;-)

(only joking - but they're both interesting tools for learning C which 
is my current 'project'... when I've done that I can learn pyrex 
properly...)

Anyway - keep up the good work. Pyrex is a great project for improving 
python..

(Oh and Ipython seems like a great console replacement - it's an 
enhanced interactive python interpreter... I'm having difficulty getting 
it working  -but it seems to include evrything I could want from a console).
