I've written a simple Python extension for UNIX, but I need to get it working on Windows now. I'm having some difficulties figuring out how to do this. I've seen web pages that say that MS Visual Studio is required, and other that say that's not true, that MinGW will work. Then there is Mike Fletcher's web page (http://www.vrplumber.com/programming/mstoolkit/) that describes in detail how to build extensions, but most of the links to external software are no longer valid. I think it's safe to say that I am completely lost, as there appears to be no authoritative, up-to-date description on how to make this work.
