Mark,
Excuse the format of this post, stuck on the road only with an iPhone but in 
the event it helps, 
http://blog.vrplumber.com/b/2014/02/12/step-2-get-amd64-compatible-vs-2010/ may 
be useful.

Hah. I don't know which versions of Visual Studio Express go with
which versions of Python, but I know there is a strict correspondence
(in terms of official builds and support, at least).

I have Visual Studio Express 2010 but the SDK was 7.0 instead of 7.1. 
I'm now waiting for the Visual Studio Express 2010 SP1 which fixes the 
linker problem.  And I've just got "restart now to finsih installing" 
after maybe one hour:)

What stupid thing have I forgotten, apart from switching to *nix? :)


Well, apart from that... I'd guess you have a pathing problem. Since
stdio.h is a standard compiler-provided header, I'd advise locating it
on disk, then checking if that path is in the INCLUDE env var. Not
sure if the Python build process overrides that, though, but it's a
start.
