Summary: There should be a Python build using Visual Studio 2005

Initial Comment:
This report is a follow-on from Bug# 1498051, which 
complained that Distutils doesn't recognize Visual 
Studio 2005. That bug was closed with a statement 
that extensions should be built with the same version 
of the MS compiler that built the Python system. 

Given that Visual Studio 2003 is no longer available 
as a commercial product from Microsoft, many people 
(myself included) must use Visual Studio 2005. 
Therefore, I am requesting that a separate `batteries 
included' Windows installer be provided where 
everything has been built with VS2005.

You don't have to provide several different builds - only the 2005 build
is needed.

Recategorizing as a feature request.

I'm personally not willing to produce several different x86
windows packages. However, sources are available, so if
somebody things this should be provided, they are certainly
free to provide it themselves.
