I decided to see if you really could build Python with the .NET compiler.

I just got a preliminary build done that passed 67 tests (and failed 17)

Two big gothas:

1. You also need to install the "Platform SDK". This one makes the .NET SDK download seem fast.

2. VC6 generated makefiles include references to a few .lib files that aren't included. They also don't seem to be needed either. The offending librarys are largeint.lib, odbc32.lib, and odbccp32.lib.

More detailed notes on what had to be done to get it working can be found here,

Enjoy!
