Zitat von Eli Bendersky <eliben at gmail.com>:

A then-related question is whether Python 3.3 should be compiled with Visual Studio 11. I'd still be in favor of that, provided Microsoft manages to release that soon enough.

Martin, I assume you mean the Express version of Visual Studio 11 here, right?

Here, I mean "Visual Studio 11, any edition". I don't think the
edition matters for determining what version the project files have - any edition will be able to read the project files, Express or not.

If you are specifically asking whether I would make the release of the express edition a prerequisite to releasing Python: no, I wouldn't. I would expect that Microsoft releases the express edition along with or soon after the commercial editions, and the commercial edition is sufficient for running the Python release process.

Regards, Martin
