Is the Express Edition of Visual C++ 2008 suitable for compiling packages for Python 2.6 on Windows? (And Python 2.6 itself for that matter...) Yes - it's currently being used on my buildbot, for example, to build Python itself.  Works for 2.6 and later. Ditto for 2.5, 3.1 and the trunk (which I guess becomes 3.2?) 2.5 needs VS 2003.

The 64 bits version of 2.5 is built with VS 2005, though.

cheers,

David
