Considering the consensus somewhere in the middle of this discussion that this
is not a Python bug, the unavailability of VS2008 Express, and the availability
of the Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7 package, I'm closing this as 'wont
fix'. If anyone just
Paul Moore added the comment:
The correct solution to this issue now is to install the Microsoft supplied
Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7 package (available as a free download from
MSDN). That has all the components needed to build 32 and 64-bit extensions.
Your setup.py needs to use

Note that in spite of the name, the process should also work for Python
3.2 and 3.3, which also use VS2008 (but I haven't tested that explicitly).
Just 3.2; 3.3 was the first version to use VS2010.

From the comments here, there seems to be a belief that this is somehow

There is other work going on that will make the patches unnecessary. One
problem is that vcvarsall.bat isn't where msvc9compiler.py is looking, which
can be fixed with monkey patching in setup.py or in setuptools. The other
problem is that VC9 is hard to get

I believe that is all that is missing from the patches I posted, though I'd

I must have missed something when I merged files to create the diffs. In any

know).

I've dug deeper into VC10 and things are even worse there - without VS
