Also, coding it in C would prolly make the code smaller, lighter and faster. And, on top of that, you'd just have to port the calls to *nix apps and compile with MSVC and you're done.
that's utterly and totally irrelevant. we're having problems with dbus-glib, not deluge or python. furthermore, dbus-glib is c, and would *still* be required if deluge was pure c

hmm not sure what happened to your original post markybob...

so you have narrowed it down to dbus-glib?

on a side note, converting it to C would actually make the code ALOT bigger, sure it would run faster and even possibly "lighter" but I doubt it would be worth it.

i deleted it because i felt myself getting angry and i didnt wanna say something i'd regret :? i've been known to have a bit of a temper problem. anyway, hey, great news!! i got dbus-glib working with vc7.1, which was our last stumbling block. hopefully we can have a stable windows client very soon. yay :)

Will you be posting the working dbus-glib win32 up somewhere?
