[python-win32] building a complicated Python application on Windows

[Bill Janssen]

Hmmm, I'm getting an error message from 'conda build':

Warning: Couldn't find Visual Studio: 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Common Files\\Microsoft\\Vi...'

So I guess installing conda-build doesn't do everything it needs to?
How would I know which version of Visual Studio to install, and where to
find it?

(You write recipes (see https://github.com/conda/conda-recipes for examples), then 'conda build' them, which produces a package that can be subsequently installed with conda install.  Can sign up to anaconda.org and then upload the package into your own channel, such that a plain 'conda install -c janssen foobar' will install your package and all the deps (which were specified in the recipe/meta.yaml).
