These will get you the Visual Studio 7 tools (free releases of) and tell you how to configure distutils to use it.
Hefty downloads though, do not attempt this without broadband !

Wow! I already installed the oolkit Compiler, and now it seems I need
to
install 646MB of SDK. Make that "you have to be *really, really* determined".
Think I might wait a bit longer.

Hello Steve,
I've just completed following the instructions at http://www.vrplumber.com/programming/mstoolkit/
It's really not too bad. The download is 400meg - which unpacks to about a 650meg isntall... but is you're hard drive that full ?
Once done it works fine........
It's the unreliability of the download process. I have now tried the installation four times, and each time it's stalled during the download of a component. Maybe it's just the times I've been trying, but it's driving me nuts.
