C:\Python26\python.exe
Python 2.6.5 (r265:79096, Mar 19 2010, 21:48:26) [MSC v.1500 32 bit 
(Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import platform
>>> platform.python_compiler()
'MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)'

This is the Visual Studio 2008 compiler. I think this is also mentioned 
in the release notes. The C runtime library is the default used by 
VS2008. You can verify the version with a tool like Dependency Walker. I 
just mentioned it because VS2008 SP1 comes with a new revision of the C 
runtime, which is not enabled by default - keep it that way. I use the 
/MD switch when compiling libraries for Python extensions.
