Thanks for the quick response.

[...] A compiler upgrade is a feature, so the change to VS2010 could only be applied to the version actively receiving new features, which at the time was 3.3. But this does not prevent anyone from creating and maintaining such a patch, outside of the official python.org repository.

I was contemplating that option indeed. Sébastien Sablé seemed to have the same aim. Would you know any other such efforts? I would rather prefer to contribute back to the community.

Best wishes,

Luc Bourhis
