This means that generated Visual Studio project files will not work for other people unless a particular absolute build location is specified for everyone which will not suit most. Each person that wants to build Python will have to run cmake before starting Visual Studio thus increasing the prerequisites.
Given that we're now stuck with using whatever Visual Studio version the Python maintainers decided to use, I don't see this as a problem. As in: there is already a far larger and invasive dependency. CMake is readily available on all platforms, and it can be installed in a couple of seconds. -- Giovanni Bajo Develer S.r.l. http://www.develer.com
