It can be, but there are a few tricks involved... > In the mean time, it's possible to use CI environments that already feature > all > the necessary versions of the VC compilers and libraries such as appveyor.com, > see this demo project: > > https://github.com/ogrisel/python-appveyor-demo > https://ci.appveyor.com/project/ogrisel/python-appveyor-demo This is the best way to have it set up - create a base VM image for your CI environment manually and clone it. I believe all the major cloud providers support this, though using a CI specialist like Appveyor makes it even easier. As far as the future story, it will probably be "move to 3.5 on VC14 as soon as possible". Internally, I'll be pushing for a CI-compatible installer for our build tools, which I expect will actually get quite a bit of traction right now. Unfortunately, going back in time to do it for both VC9 and VC10 was not an option. We chose VC9 because 2.7 is where people are stuck, while migrating from 3.3->3.5 should not be as big an issue.
