We should remove/change this comment. It is utterly misleading. To a warning/error stating that you miss a compiler?
Correct: that you miss VS 2003, or should request mingw.
Forget about Visual Studio 8 and .NET 2.0. It won't help here. I only have .NET 1.1 and 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005 (8) installed. Why should I forget about it? Is Python compiled with much older compilers and thus unable to work together in a nice way or?
"Much" is a relative thing, but yes. Python 2.3 and before is compiled with VC6, Python 2.4 and 2.5 are compiled with VS 2003. You cannot compile extensions with a different compiler version because the CRT versions will clash (msvcrt4 vs. msvcr71 vs. msvcr8)
Google for details, this has been discussed both technically and politically many times before.
Regards, Martin
