Thank you for posting to comp.lang.python .

Beside the problem with the multiline strings in sets.c I was getting also:

src\sets\sets.c(70) : error C2099: initializer is not a constant
src\sets\sets.c(71) : error C2099: initializer is not a constant
src\sets\sets.c(71) : warning C4028: formal parameter 1 different from
declaration
src\sets\sets.c(72) : error C2099: initializer is not a constant
src\sets\sets.c(72) : warning C4047: 'initializing' : 'PyTypeObject *'
differs in levels of indirection from 'int (__cdecl *)(PyObject *)'
src\sets\sets.c(72) : warning C4028: formal parameter 1 different from
declaration
error: command 'E:\VisualC++NET2003\Vc7\bin\cl.exe'
failed with exit status 2

Anyone here who succeeded to compile and use this module with
Python 2.4.2 on Windows 2000/XP? Please share your experience.
