<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 576873 by <a href="/recipes/users/57155/">Denis Barmenkov</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/binaries/">binaries</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/dll/">dll</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/patch/">patch</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/precompiled/">precompiled</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pyd/">pyd</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/windows/">windows</a>). Revision 4. </p> <p>It is helpful to download and install precompiled binaries of Python modules especially for Windows. Second way is longer: get module sources, build the C compiler environment, compile binaries, beware of compiler warnings, install module.</p> <p>Often precompiled binaries can be patched to meet used Python version. </p> <p>See 'discussions' below for details.</p>
