A few things... First to Victor's comments on the devguide. The following sentence after the one quoted states: "To use the build files in the PCbuild directory you will also need Visual Studio 2010" In short, you need both VS2008 and VS2010 to compile the "default" way. Secondly, to Steve's comment on the PC\VS9.0 build files. Normally Steve would be correct in stating that the PC\VS* directories are not maintained, however, in this case they are supported. It is explicitly stated as such in the devguide and PCbuild\readme.txt (https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/2.7/PCbuild/readme.txt).

First to Victor's comments on the devguide.  The following sentence after the one quoted states:

"To use the build files in the PCbuild directory you will also need Visual Studio 2010"

In short, you need *both* VS2008 and VS2010 to compile the "default" way.

Secondly, to Steve's comment on the PC\VS9.0 build files.
