Should note that I did try to build Python using my MSDN license for Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2010. I only had an hour or so to attempt it, and did not succeed, though I think I got as far as trying to properly situate various dependent libraries (sqlite, ssl). If anybody's successfully navigated the twisty maze, would you be able to write something up on the wiki to describe the steps you've taken? -Barry

I can expand the dev setup guide I wrote for the PSF Sprints to include the third-party stuff, then try to get that in wider circulation. I currently gloss over it to get a first-time contributor up and running quickly (since someone's first look into core dev is unlikely to be fixing sqlite). I haven't tried the current codebase on VS2010 yet, but it's on my todo list. I think that could be incredibly useful. I've tried building Windows Pythons in the past and stalled because I didn't have enough familiarity with the VS environment. Brian: could you remind us where that doc is, please? I've lost track of it. In broad terms it's not too hard to get going once you've installed VS[*]; I've rebuild several different fresh Python checkouts several times today while these issues have been discussed, and generally it's a question of: cd py3k (or whatever) tools\buildbot\externals.bat cd py3k\pcbuild env build -d rt -d and you're done and tested. That said, I seem to be having build issues with ssl on 2.7 which I'll try to look into. But the technique is fairly straightforward. TJG [*] And a small clutter of other tools for certain bits

Building ssl requires Perl and nasm, and gets completed as a post-build step. I haven't done that in a while but it's documented in PCBuild/readme.txt. That's the stuff I'll be adding to the above document. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
