using weave with Windows

[Jean-Baptiste Richet]

Hello,

weave could be highly usefull to me, but I can't have it work correctly
on my PC, and I can't understand the error message. Could you help me ?
I installed the latest zip package by "python setup.py install", on a
python 2.3 installation (OS = Windows ME), and here is a result when
trying it :
=============== ==========
IDLE 1.0

import weave
a = 123
weave.inline('p rintf("%d\\n",a );',['a']) Exception exceptions.Attr ibuteError: "DbfilenameShel f instance has no

CompileError: error: command 'g++' failed with exit status 1

=============== ============
The gcc I use comes from MinGW and is version 3.2. I tried out gcc 2.95,
and it was nearly the same (error at the same place, but 'cc' was
blaimed). I tried cygwin, and it was not different. I tried python 2.2,
and the result was similar.

Any idea ?
thanks a lot for your help.
