Thanks. Last time I tried that route, it was for 64 bit py2.7. And it
required some kludging of environment variables, and registry acces I don't
have permission for.
But it still may be the best bet. I'll give it a try when I have a chance.
And this should be in the "official" docs...
For what it's worth, I've had good luck compiling *most* extension
modules on Windows using the gcc from MinGW-w64.
The big notable exception was that last time I tried compiling Numpy
with it I got a segfaulting Numpy. But I never had a chance to
investigate why or if it's fixable. My own extension modules work
fine on Windows when compiled in MinGW though.

Same here. I compile the regex module for Python 2.5-2.7 and 3.1-3.5,
both 32-bit and 64-bit, using MinGW-w64, and I haven't had a problem yet
that wasn't due to a bug in the source code.

As I understand it, the MS VS2010 compiler is required (or at least

However, MS now makes it very hard (impossible?) to download VS2010
Express ( or Community, or whatever the free as in beer version is
called).
I realize that this is not python-dev's responsibility, but if there
is any way to either document where it can be found, or put a bit of
pressure on MS to make it available, as they have for VS2008 and
py2.7, that would be great.
Sorry to bug this list, I didn't know where else to reach out to.

[1] it's actually prefer hard to find out which compiler version is
used for which python version. And has been for years. Would a patch
to the docs, probably here:
https://docs.python.org/3.4/using/windows.html#compiling-python-on-windows
Be considered?
