As far as I know, the SDK bundled with VS2003 is used. Nothing in the core Python sources requires anything later. pywin32 generally uses a 'recent' one, with #ifdef's used of necessary to restrict certain functionality to later SDKs (which then makes it my responsibility to use the latest one referenced in the sources for the final distributions) > Also, my eventual desire is to submit a patch to implement hard-link > functionality for Win32 via CreateHardLink. win32file already exposes this function.
