Yeah, I wondered about that. I'll work up a patch for that. But the
more I think about it, it really is trivial:
I am reminded of an interview question I was once asked which was prefaced with:
"Here's an easy one..."
My reply was, if you know the answer, it's easy!
- For non-free MSVC, install the appropriate version, and everything just works.
- For Python 2.7 (32 or 64 bit), install the compiler for Python 2.7
package and everything just works as long as you're using setuptools.
- For 32 bit Python 3.2-3.4, install Visual Studio Express and
everything just works.
- For 64 bit Python 3.2-3.4, install the SDK, set some environment
variables, and everything just works.
- For Python 3.5+, install the current Visual Studion Express and
everything just works.
I would suggest
- where to get these packages
- where to get any dependencies
- any options to [not] specify during install
- what environment variables to what value
- where one should be at when one starts the compile process
and, of course, a gotchas section for uncommon but frustrating things that
might go wrong.
And thanks for doing this!
