libspatialindex needs some fixes to be able to compile on msvc2003,  
which all of the stock Python 2.5 binaries are built with.  I or  
Marios haven't had time to make these fixes yet, and until that time,  
a msvc2003-based libspatialindex will not be able to made.  It might  
be possible to use the msvc2008-based libspatialindex inside of the  
2.6 egg with 2003-based ctypes on 2.5, but I don't know if that can  
work.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help...

I just tried this and it doesn't work.  The good news is the next  
release of libspatialindex will also include the C API, so it will no  
longer be required to have the Python extension build it.  This will  
simplify things and should eliminate this issue.

All I can offer until then is "hurry up and wait" :)

Sorry,


Howard

thanks, waiting for the excellent C API,
then, perhaps Cython can help to build the extension for several python versions
