It "just works" :) VS Community is indistinguishable from VS Pro apart from some of the branding and a few features so obscure that I hadn't heard of or used them until I was told they were missing. Also the license, which allows for free use on open-source projects regardless of the company where you work (the limits are for commercial use at companies that can afford the product). > This thread, and Brian's post regarding renewing MSDN subscriptions made me > realise we're going to need to be able to explain that to new Windows based > contributors. Replace "Express" with "Community" everywhere (once the project migrations go in, since VS Community *2013* isn't a lot of help right now). I don't know exactly what the situation will be with VS 2015, but there will either be a free Community or a free Express for Desktop (without the 64-bit bug that was in VS 2010 Express), either of which will be fine for working on Python.
