Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think you can build anything after Python
2.3 with VC6.
This just might save you some grief though.Although, this has nothing to do
with your Source Safe issue.

I use Visual C 6 on non-python projects on XP, and don' t have this problem.

Python Experts everywhere!!

I am trying to build python 2.4.1 on windows 2003 server using the MSVC
files under src/PC/VC6. If I try to open the workspace pcbuild.dsw with MS
Visual C++ 6.0, it tries to login into Visual SourceSafe and asks for login
and password. I believe this shouldn't be the case.

Any inputs on this??
