Hmm, maybe. I've gave up to use Cython about an half of year ago (or 
maybe already year?). I need to test it again with 0.11.

SxS stuff in new dlls (of VS 2008). I've read many post in py2exe 
mailing list about this problem. IIUC it require admin rights to install 
msvcrt90.dll to windows system directory. Also there is some problems 
with PyQt4 usage in standalone application. Sorry, I have no specific 
details, but all this problems is enough for me to not bother to migrate 
my own projects to 2.6, because I need painless py2exe stuff, and I 
don't enough free time to sort out this issues.

As I said the most irritating thing is SxS problems with py2exed 
programs and requirement for VS 2008. I'll try to gather more info in 
November/December when I'll have some window for such experiments.

But of course I can be just plain wrong, because I don't have strong 
facts yet.
