Does anyone have a set of instructions for building and running the regression tests WITHOUT using Python? Right now, that's the sticking point - Python's not installed, and I'm unable to install it. If I could put together a ZIP file with all the command line tools pre-built and a simple BATch file to run them, that'd be a workable solution.

Somehow if they're letting us upload, build, and run our code it seems like it should be possible to upload, build, and run Python, no?

True that - I could upload the sources and just build it in place.

It's trivial; I would just go ahead and do it. The build system is set up to work with a development installation of Python.

Hopefully someone on the VC++ team can just install ActivePython on the machine for me. If I build Python locally, is there a straightforward way to identify all the files I'd need to push to the machine to have it work there?

Not that I know of. Why not just do the build remotely?

I'm assuming there'd be more to it than just python.exe.

Yeah, all of the standard library, for example. And python.dll. Not sure what else right now. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
