A 4 year old compiler?
I also have MSVC11 installed. Can the python project add support for
that so that we aren't waiting 5 years between compiler support?
3.3 will almost certainly be built with VS2010.
I suppose there's no chance of moving to a free compiler?
VC express is free-as-in-beer. The whole V. Studio is free to core
developers. MS may not *like* open-source software, but they have
decided they would like it even less if everyone compiled it with non-MS
compilers.
Windows work, I've generally used the Open Watcom compiler; that's not
to say it's the best, but it does the job, and it's free software.
Would it build CPython, including the +- dependent libraries like
tcl/tk? How would the speed compare?
But no, I'm not offering. Way way too many jobs that I already have
queued, sorry!
I guess the answer will have to wait ;-).
