I followed it exactly, first trying to install binaries (successfully on
ubuntu 8.10),

I tested it item by item ! (and for ubuntu it worked perfectly) But for
windows there is about nothing describing the compilation process ! In
"More details" page there are some indications, but i'm not python
expert, nor win32 developper at all... I don't understand clearly the
python compilation process on win32. Does the setup.py has to be
launched by win32 python.exe, or the cygwin one ?

thanks, my problem is really with win32s, as for debian i think that my
problems are just  package dependencie, and compiling everything from
packages sources will solve them anyway  ! Docs are quite clear about
it :)
