Should note that I did try to build Python using my MSDN license for
Windows 7
and Visual Studio 2010. I only had an hour or so to attempt it, and
did not
succeed, though I think I got as far as trying to properly situate
various
dependent libraries (sqlite, ssl).
If anybody's successfully navigated the twisty maze, would you be
able to
write something up on the wiki to describe the steps you've taken?

I can expand the dev setup guide I wrote for the PSF Sprints to include
the third-party stuff, then try to get that in wider circulation. I
currently gloss over it to get a first-time contributor up and running
quickly (since someone's first look into core dev is unlikely to be
fixing sqlite).
I haven't tried the current codebase on VS2010 yet, but it's on my todo
list.
I think that could be incredibly useful. I've tried building Windows
Pythons in the past and stalled because I didn't have enough familiarity
with the VS environment.
Brian: could you remind us where that doc is, please? I've lost track of it.
In broad terms it's not too hard to get going once you've installed
VS[*]; I've
rebuild several different fresh Python checkouts several times today
while these
issues have been discussed, and generally it's a question of:
cd py3k (or whatever)
tools\buildbot\externals.bat
cd py3k\pcbuild
env
build -d
rt -d
and you're done and tested.
That said, I seem to be having build issues with ssl on 2.7 which I'll
try to look into. But the technique is fairly straightforward.
