[Python-Dev] Built with VS2012 Express for desktop

[rahul garg]

Hello again!

Apparently the executable I built was broken. I tried with Debug configuration on x64 and got a python_d.exe successfully.
However trying to run "python_d.exe -m test" results in an error that cannot import "support" from test.

Thanks! That page is what I should have looked for!
