[PEAK] access violation with py24/msvc compiler

[alexander smishlajev]

hello!

i am trying to build PEAK for python2.4 with Microsoft Visual C++ 
Toolkit 2003, and i get access violation when i run test suite.  i have 
found that access violation occurs at the time of peak.model.features 
import, i.e. it is enough to do just

   python -c "from peak.model import features"

i have further narrowed the problem to class structField.  the body of 
this class definition is processed fully, and then i get the error; next 
statement is not executed.

could you help me to track the problem down, please?

the error does not occur if i build PEAK with mingw32 compiler.

best wishes,
alex.
