PY support for gnumeric under Win

hmmm, do you think that issue could probably be resolved by using gdb 
under Win??

Then I would give it a try. I suppose, the first step would be to try 
to successfully compile gnm 1.10.17 using gcc 4.6.2 under WinXP/Win7, 
wouldn't it? I admit that the remark " that recompilation is very 
difficult.)" on the gnumeric website does not read encouraging...

I experienced some problems with the Linux PY API, too, when trying to
add extended precision functions relying on mpmath, e.g., the 
description strings did not appear in gnumeric. So there might be 
problems hidden in the PY API code as well. Do you still have contact 
to the developer of the PY API code (living in Poland, if i remember 
correctly)?
