Thanks again for a very informative answer and these are windows wrappers.

That's a Windows-specific concern; there've been changes made to how the Windows build process works, starting with 3.5. It's usually easiest to build against the exact Python that you want to run against; in the case of binaries downloaded from python.org, that basically means having one build for each version (major.minor) you want to support. (I'm not sure about other build concerns - you possibly need 32-bit and 64-bit builds for each version. Others will know more than I do on that.)

For non-Windows platforms, it's usually easiest to punt on the whole build process and just distribute source code. C compilers are more generally available on people's Linux systems than on their Windowses.
