I just tried out the compiler and built wininst and wheel dists. Thanks! distutils was *almost* fine using it, but for two snags: * I had to set VS90COMNTOOLS * distutils expects vcvarsall.bat in VC, while you have it in the parent dir The first could be set by the installer of your package.

+1 Wow. After PTVS, this is the next big thing for Python developer on Windows. Hoping that someday Python will be treated by Microsoft just like .NET Framework: so we can easily shipped our own modules, not with a complete Python interpreter and packages Thanks Steve! On 9/27/2014 1:01 AM, Steve
