Hey folks, I'm trying to test out a patch to add a timeout in subprocess.py on Windows, so I need to build Python with Visual Studio. The docs say the files in PCBuild/ work with VC 9 and newer. I downloaded Visual C++ 2010 Express, and it needs to convert the .vcproj files into .vcxproj files, but it fails.
I can't figure out where to get VC 9, all I see is 2008 and 2010. Can someone with experience share the best practices for building Python on Windows? In particular, what is the most recent compiler known to work and where can I download it?
