If you can get it working on VS2010 first, VS2012 can read that project file, but without converting it'll just run the 2010 compiler and allow you to use the 2012 IDE. Competing the actual port from 2010 to 2012 did not appear to be very hard, but I didn't look to far into it. You don't need the old VS sub-directories unless you are compiling with those versions. _______________________________________________ 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
