My presentation for Pycon is coming together, but I need to make sure my information about compiling Python and Python extensions for Windows is correct. I'm really only experienced with this on the Linux side of things.
First of all, is the Windows FAQ fairly up to date? Should people be referring to section 6 if they are going to build an application with an embedded Python interpreter? http://www.python.org/doc/faq/windows/#how-can-i-embed-python-into-a-windows-application If I understand correctly, compiled extensions for Python on Windows should match the compiler that was used to build the interpreter itself? Is there a list somewhere that shows which version of msvc was used to compile the recent Python binaries? Thank you for feedback. I definitely want to make sure I have this correct before telling anybody else? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
