- Paul Moore has contributed a Python build procedure for the free version of the 2003 compiler. This one is without IDE, but still, it should allow people without a VS 2003 license to work on Python itself; it should also be possible to develop extensions with that compiler (although I haven't verified that distutils would pick that up correctly).
It's been possible to compile distutils extensions with the VS 2003 toolkit for far longer than it's possible to compile Python itself: http://www.vrplumber.com/programming/mstoolkit/ In fact, it would be great if the patches provided here were reviewed and integrated into the official Python distutils. -- Giovanni Bajo
