Thanks for the help. Any idea how to pass the "-c" option to setup.py?

>python setup.py build_ext --inplace
running build_ext
error: Python was built with Visual Studio 2003;
extensions must be built with a compiler than can generate compatible
binaries.
Visual Studio 2003 was not found on this system. If you have Cygwin
installed,
you can try compiling with MingW32, by passing "-c mingw32" to setup.py.

Trying to pass "-c":

>python -c mingw32 setup.py build_ext --inplace
