I gather that Python is compiled with Windows Studio 2008.

Unfortunately, the MS Download link points to a Studio 2010 advertising .ppx

Could someone point to an alternative please?

Colin W.

PS  I need it for Numpy-1.8.1, which does not seem to be available with a
binary version.

I haven't tried this, but installing the SDK should allow you to build extensions as
well for that particular Python build. Be sure to get the SDK that belongs to vs2008,
which is this one if I'm not mistaken:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11310

It should install a command line c/c++ compiler as well and setting the right options
will tell pip/setuptools/... to use the sdk compiler rather than visual studio.

This will work fine, if you remeber to set the environmental variable
DISTUTILS_USE_SDK=1

But it is an old compiler. Unfortunately a more recent Microsoft compiler
cannot be used.

I recommend a recent GCC or Intel compiler unless you have to use a
Microsoft compiler.
