Hi Gerard, thanks for the note. I'll try to get more information from our Windows expert on this: Steve Dower.
Steve: How could we best update the page to guide people to the current set of tools ? https://wiki.python.org/moin/WindowsCompilers The dev guide (still) points to VS2017: https://devguide.python.org/setup/#windows but it already mentions the the "workload" installation approach. Would it be a good idea to point Python users in the same direction or is there a less involved setup/download available ?
