My only real misgiving here is that, for a few years, we'll need three versions installed to build the active branches: 2008 for 2.7; 2010 for 3.4; and 2014 for 3.5. Am I wrong?

Also, will 2014 express edition be able to fully build extensions for Python, 32 and 64 bit? Will it be able to build Python itself?

I ask because I'm currently discovering how much fun (basically none) it is to set up the SDK compilers for building extensions, and it would be fantastic if that pain point could be removed. (It's also personally relevant to me now, as my python-dev provided MSDN subscription has run out, so I'm back to only having access to free tools :-))
