Python's distutils do not work with the SDK compiler, only Visual Studio. Building Python extensions with the SDK compiler is not as easy as it could (or should) be. At one point Mike Fletcher published a patch to make distutils use the SDK compiler. It would make a lot of sense if it were built in to distutils as a further compiler choice.

Please understand that this very choice is there already.
