Has there been any progress on being able to build extensions with MSVC8 (aka Visual Studio 2005)?
Since the "free" compiler from Microsoft is now VC8, I *assume* this will be the new method..... 2.5 itself rebuilds using PCbuild8, as do tkinter (but using Tcl 8.4.14 and Tk 8.4.14) however none of the distutils-generated extensions will build. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
