You used to be able to work around the "can't find vcvarsall.bat" 
problem by hard coding the path to it, but that now fails with some 
other obscure message, so I've given up trying to build anything other 
than core Python.

An essential site for anybody trying to do serious work on Windows is 
Christoph Gohlke's "Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension 
Packages" at http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
what you can do for our language.
