The most important thing is to have something to do while the Visual
Studio installation takes up 8G of your disk space and several hours of elapsed
time.  At least the installation went smoothly.


thanks
Mark's reference seems more directed at designers of the compilation steps for the extension. From Zachary's comment it seems I should be able to build with distutils without too much trouble.

However, I try to link bits of various libraries statically into the reportlab extensions eg freetype.lib. Does anyone know if I will need separate versions of those for VS2015? Currently I build with distutils for Python 27, 33 & 34. Currently the .libs seem OK with both 2.7 & >=3.3 builds, but I notice from the reference that all the code for VS2015 needs to be built with specific options set, so will I need separate versions of the relocatable libs?
