I didn't see any mention of this product in the Python-Dev list, so I thought to let you know.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/download/ There is also a link for a CD image (.img) file to download. I am downloading now, so I don't know yet whether Python compiles with it without any problems. So if anyone has previous experience, please reply. PS This page ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/faq/default.aspx#pricing ) says that if you download it until Nov 7, 2006, it's a gift --the Microsoft VC++ compiler for free (perhaps a cut-down version). Bits from the FAQ: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/faq/default.aspx 4. Can be used even for commercial products without licensing restrictions 40. It includes the optimizing compiler (without stuff like Profile Guided Optimizations) 41. Builds both native and managed applications (you 99% need to download the SDK too) 42. No MFC or ATL included _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
