[Python-Dev] cpython (3.6): replace usage of Py_VA_COPY with the (C99) standard va_copy

[tchappui at gmail.com]

Hi, 


Python 2.7 requires VS 2008 as Microsoft provides a specific bundle https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44266


Kind regards


Thierry

Python 3 had the same argument with 2to3: run 2to3 once, and you are
done. C99 is a new thing for Python >= 3.6, but when you want to
support Python 2.7 and 3.5, you are stuck at Visual Studio 2010 which
is less happy with C99 than VS 2015...

Hum, I don't recall if Python 2.7 requires VS 2010 or 2008? Python 2.7
doesn't seem to be mentioned in the dev guide :-/
