I'm successfully building with Visual Studio Version 2015 Community Edition RC. It's a good job that modern drives have so much space as it takes up *EIGHT GIG* of space, so the download and install takes quite a time. I'm aware that Steve Dower is trying to get a much smaller install made available for those who just want to build from the command line. -- My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask what you can do for our language.

Still upgrade achieved and it only took around four hours 30 minutes. We've terms like software, middleware, firmware, vapourware and so on and so forth, but I'm not certain what VS2015 comes under, explodedware possibly? -- My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask what you can do for our language.
