Content
Is it permitted to allow python compile with older compilers, even with some functions missing? This patch already skips some functions not included with VC6: socket.ioctl, msvcrt.getwch &co. Even socket.RCVALL_IPLEVEL is not available on my installation of VS8 (Professional Edition). Even if the result is only a subset of the official python (as shown when running the test suite), it may still be useful, when embedded in legacy applications for example, where installing a new SDK is not always possible.
