Hi,

Python 2.7 requires VS 2008 as Microsoft provides a specific bundle https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44266

Kind regards

Thierry

Python 3 had the same argument with 2to3: run 2to3 once, and you are
done. C99 is a new thing for Python >= 3.6, but when you want to
support Python 2.7 and 3.5, you are stuck at Visual Studio 2010 which
is less happy with C99 than VS 2015...

Hum, I don't recall if Python 2.7 requires VS 2010 or 2008? Python 2.7
doesn't seem to be mentioned in the dev guide :-/
