All, I'm fairly new to Python and was excited to start playing with it until I ran into need to compile some extensions under windows 7 64 bit. I've done some searching but after more hours than I care to count being unsuccessful setting up MS visual studio (2015, 2012, and 2010) with service packs and SDKs I can tell I'm spinning my wheels and going nowhere fast.
After trying to search through archives and the net I get some things that are really old or are unique to their situation but just not what I would expect for such a widely used language. Are there any instructions/pointers that someone could point me to to be able to set up visual studio for use with python. I figure I'd just start with 3.5 but have tried under 3.4 and even went back to 2.7 with no luck. I see I'm not the only one with frustration with the error about not find vcvarsall.bat and the like. Thanks for your help! Jeff
