Can this be closed as essentially a duplicate of #22919 which targets Visual 
Studio 2015?

Steve Dower added the comment:

msvc9compiler should not look for any versions of MSVC other than 9.0, since 
extensions built using other versions will be subtly (or dramatically) 
incompatible with Python unless you also rebuild Python itself with the same 
MSVC version.

You can set DISTUTILS_USE_SDK=1 and run from the VS 2012 Developer Command 
Prompt (or otherwise configure your environment) if you are willing to accept 
the risk, but ensure you test the built extension thoroughly.

Hopefully, 3.5 will switch to the next version of MSVC (14) and will be able to 
detect and use all later releases, so this particular problem won't exist in 
the future. There's nothing we can/will do for 2.x at this stage.

This is a feature request and new features are only being added on the 3.x 
line. The next feature release will be 3.4.

Why? :)

I ask because all the application I depend upon only run against Python 2.x 
(Rhodecode, Mercurial, etc). I'd love for them to upgrade but it's not really 
in my control.

Has there been some sort of policy change within Python to stop supporting 2.x?

[Gili T.]

New submission from Gili T.:

msvc9compiler needs to check for the VS110COMNTOOLS environment variable in 
order to support Visual Studio 2012. Currently it complains "cannot find 
vcvarsall.bat".

The following workaround works for now:

SET VS90COMNTOOLS=%VS110COMNTOOLS%
