</div>IMO, the build should figure that out (pip/easy_install). Why should I take the burden<br>
of searching through docs (however easy those may be or may not be to find),<br>
when the build tool can detect and inform me about the compiler needed?<br>
<br>
Of course that again underlines the deficiencies glyph pointed out with pip/easy_install.<br>
<br>
Twisted might compensate those by including detection in it's build scripts .. but<br>
that will be controversial for sure (compensating for stuff that would better be<br>
fixed elsewhere ..)<br>

<br>
</div>Yeah, right;) I didn't want to say Python 1.5 builds with VS2008, but the current Py2 one.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br><div>Hi</div><div><br></div><div> Actually, you can use VS 2010 with python but you need to modify sth. deploying python app (not only with twisted) on windows is troublesome. Sometimes, I have to manually download .msi files and execute it order by order. I am sure that 99% of windows servers don't have a working compiler no matter it is "free" or not.</div>
