</span>I understood that Python only has a tiny list of officially supported<br>
compilers. For example, MinGW is somehow explicitly not supported and<br>
I see this as a deliberate choice.<br>
<br>
I'm quite sure that all supported compilers support C99.<br>
<br>
Is it worth to support a compiler that in 2016 doesn't support the C<br>
standard released in 1999, 17 years ago?<br>
