[Python-Dev] Who's using VS/Windows to work on Python? (original) (raw)

Just wondering who is regularly/occasionally using VS 2010 to work on Python?

Also, who currently owns the Windows buildbots and are you willing/able to add a VS 2015 Preview installation (or give me access so I can do it)? I can also set up a VS 2015 buildbot, but the old ones will break if the projects change (I should do this anyway to at least become familiar with how the buildbots work...)

I want to get a feel for who will be disrupted when I merge in the changes to build with VS 2015, which will help influence when that merge occurs. VS 2015 Preview was just released yesterday, and while it's not perfect yet, it's isolated enough from VS 2010 that there won't be any issues installing them both (I can't say the same for VS 2013...). If people are okay with this, then we can consider merging the changes sooner. Once VS 2015 RC is released, I'll be looking to merge asap., but I don't see a strong need to do it before then other than a longer bake time.

(In any case, the old project files will still be there, but right now it's easier to handle when those change. Once they are in their own directory, changes to the VS 2010 projects will need to be duplicated by hand in the VS 2015 projects, and while the converse is true, it's not as critical.)
