[New-bugs-announce] [issue1297] pyconfig.h not compatible with MS VC++ Express Edition

[Nick]

New submission from Nick:

pyconfig.h checks for _MSC_VER and based on its value decides to include
<basetsd.h>.

MS VC++ Express reports _MSC_VER to be 1400 but does _NOT_ have the file
basetsd.h.

So when including Python.h with the Microsoft VC Express compiler,
pyconfig.h will try to include the non existing basetsd.h and compiling
fails.
