[New-bugs-announce] [issue43804] Add more info about building C/C++ Extensions on Windows using MSVC

[Shreyan Avigyan]

New submission from Shreyan Avigyan <shreyan.avigyan at gmail.com>:

In the context of Docs/extending/windows.rst, the command provided, for compiling the source code and linking the libraries to create a DLL, only works for Python 32-bit versions. But the documentation doesn't inform anything about that. The PR linked with this issue adds a note section with the text :-

"""

The above commands are only applicable for Python 32-bit versions.

"""

This PR is against the master branch and if accepted, it needs to be backported to all the previous supported versions.

Kindly have a review of my PR.

Thanking you,

With Regards
