This doc has not been updated since the 64 bit compilers came out officially. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense of what steps you should follow to build python. I saw a link on the comp.lang.python that had the steps, but that link doesn't go anywhere now. I had to jump through some hoops to get it to build on VC 2005 64 bit, but that at least had an IDE to use. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
