Please test these windows builds. I committed a change to set
tcltk8.5 flags for python 2.6 and I also uploaded a modified
win32_static.zip file. Could someone please replace the previous one
with the newer version? It includes the tcltk8.5 headers needed for
the build. If these builds test out well I'll proceed with the whole
slew of files for the release later this weekend.

Yeah, that worked. Removed the link from
distutils/cygwinccompiler.py. I didn't get the error from python 2.4
or 2.5, but that's probably because I have had them installed for a
while and these dll's have been installed from other modules. I'll
try to get some binaries posted soon.

I found that thread not too long ago and dug up the tool John mentioned.

Looks like our friend "msvcrXX" (msvcr90 for py2.6) is back. I am
removing the link from distutils right now and giving it a try.

Hi Charlie, we've been batting this one around on MPL-users for a little
while... still no resolution though. See the thread started by Lorenzo
Di Gregorio "matplotlib._path failed on windows build for Python 2.6".

>> ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.
This is most likely due to the localtime problem when building extensions
with mingw. I encountered this too when trying to get the scikits.timeseries
module ready for a release. I implemented a work around mentioned on the
python users list a while ago, you can take a look here:
http://svn.scipy.org/svn/scikits/trunk/timeseries/scikits/timeseries/src/c_dates.c
lines 2585 - 2609
Basically, if you use localtime, time or time_t anywhere in your extension
and compile your extension with mingw for python 2.6, it will fail to
import. This is due to some conflict with mingw and visual studio 2008, the
details of which I am not really familiar with, I just know the work around
works.

Python2.6 went fairly clean. I had to modify setupext.py a little to
account for tcltk8.5 and add the tcltk8.5 headers to the win32_static
distribution.
I am running into an error when importing matplotlib though. I'll
poke around but would appreciate extra eyes.
