Should note that I did try to build Python using my MSDN license for<br>
Windows 7<br>
and Visual Studio 2010. I only had an hour or so to attempt it, and<br>
did not<br>
succeed, though I think I got as far as trying to properly situate<br>
various<br>
dependent libraries (sqlite, ssl).<br>

If anybody's successfully navigated the twisty maze, would you be<br>
able to<br>
write something up on the wiki to describe the steps you've taken?<br>

I can expand the dev setup guide I wrote for the PSF Sprints to include<br>
the third-party stuff, then try to get that in wider circulation. I<br>
currently gloss over it to get a first-time contributor up and running<br>
quickly (since someone's first look into core dev is unlikely to be<br>
fixing sqlite).<br>
<br>
I haven't tried the current codebase on VS2010 yet, but it's on my todo<br>
list.<br>

I think that could be incredibly useful. I've tried building Windows<br>
Pythons in the past and stalled because I didn't have enough familiarity<br>
with the VS environment.<br>

Brian: could you remind us where that doc is, please? I've lost track of it.<br>
<br>
In broad terms it's not too hard to get going once you've installed VS[*]; I've<br>
rebuild several different fresh Python checkouts several times today while these<br>
issues have been discussed, and generally it's a question of:<br>
<br>
cd py3k (or whatever)<br>
tools\buildbot\externals.bat<br>
cd py3k\pcbuild<br>
env<br>
build -d<br>
rt -d<br>
<br>
and you're done and tested.<br>
<br>
That said, I seem to be having build issues with ssl on 2.7 which I'll<br>
try to look into. But the technique is fairly straightforward.<br>
