Not trying to be rude, but that seems more like an issue with lack of research, for all of your initial troubles.
Python was compiled by Visual Studio 2008, up until Python 3.5, and I believe that was made clear in the extension module documentation for python.
Having used 3.5 and VS2015 (after waiting for multiple days just for VS to finish installing), everything else has worked pretty spiffy since
- xenophonf 10y agoYou're not being rude at all. The extension module documentation, including this blog post, says to use Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7. I couldn't get it to work properly, and I tried the other toolchains after quite a bit of research, a word which here means "reading through the Python source code and trying various search terms in a vain attempt to solve a problem that apparently isn't a problem for anyone else, but they can't be bothered to specify their obviously functional build environments in sufficient detail for me, an expert in the art, to recreate in a clean virtual machine here at home". It was only after this little endeavour of mine that I came to appreciate people's work on reproducible builds, Vagrant, etc. And you aren't kidding about that VS2015 install taking forever and a day. Updates are almost as bad.
