Cross-compiling python extensions under Linux using distutils

Is there any way to compile bot开发者_高级运维h Windows and Linux versions of Python/distutils/SWIG/C++ extensions under Linux? As far as I understand the problem is at least in obtaining windows version of python-dev.

Thank you.

You could do it in two ways:

1. Install MingW on your linux system, and cross-compile the extension using it

2. Compile it in a Windows Virtual Machine (eg. Windows7 on VirtualBox)

I prefer the second option as it gives the opportunity to test that your program is working
