I must confess that I am not familiar with the buildbots. I could imagine that it would be difficult to set up internally due to security concerns, but I can voice the issue here.

That Python 2.5.1 should be compiled with VC > 2005? Something else (if so, what)? I don't think we should switch the "official" compiler for a point release. I'm happy to say something like "we make the PCbuild8 environment a supported compiler", which means we need, at a bare minimum, a buildbot slave for that compiler/platform. Kristján, is this something you can offer? Without a buildbot for that compiler, I don't think we can claim it's supported. There's plenty of platforms we "support" which don't have buildslaves, but they're all variants of Unix - I'm happy that they are all mostly[1] sane. Anthony [1] Offer void on some versions of HP/UX, Irix, AIX -- Anthony Baxter <anthony at interlink.com.au> It's never too late to have a happy childhood.
