Pywin32 is mostly written in C, and has lots of dependencies and weird
build requirements. In order to compile it, you must have the same C
compiler that your release of Python was built with. For older Python
versions (like 2.7) that compiler is obsolete and hard to find, so installs
from source
Hi, I've successfully used the solution in the PCBuild directory to build
CPython. However, now I have a binary and collection of .pyd files that

Actually that gist wouldn't help much since it uses pywin32, the thing
we're trying to install. (derp!) There may be another way though.
