Unfortunately, the bits needed from VS 2010 are entirely separate from the bits provided by the 2.7 compiler package; the compiler package is more closely related to VS 2008, but still missing some important pieces. > I think my buildslave has enough resources to support another builder > for that configuration (VC9 only) if that is something we are > interested in doing. I am in fact interested in doing so; there have been a couple of issues raised recently about the PC/VS9.0 files being left behind. I may also add a VS2008-only builder to the XP bot, since it's only running 2.7 anymore anyways. -- Zach _______________________________________________ Python-Buildbots mailing list Python-Buildbots@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-buildbots
