I haven't actually tried, but it may be that you can build 64-bit binaries if you also install the platform SDK - it comes with an amd64 compiler (at least the Vista SDK does). Whether that enables the express edition to invoke that compiler, I don't know. >> PS To be honest, I'd like to see Python itself buildable with the free >> MS tools, but I don't have time to work on that and so that's more of >> a dream than a reasonable request to make :-) > > Isn't the express edition the successor of the free MS compiler suite? Correct - or, perhaps, one successor. They also ship free compilers with the platform SDK (but still not so for x86, IIUC).
