No, much easier. Essentially the same steps as below after
following the instructions in the devguide to get the 2015 compiler.

I think the equivalent step for windows come later.

OK, harder, hunt for Windows hg installer, or TortoiseHg if one likes 
GUIs front ends as I do.  Also get svn.

Essentially same.

external.bat # for dependencies, which is where svn is needed.

I forget command line invocation to build python itself.  I use Explorer 
and doubleclick python?.sln and the file association starts Visual 
Studio..  There is a windows make.bat for doc building.  This all works 
much better than a few years ago.  Many thanks for final tweaks to Zach 
Ware.

Ditto for Windows.

We have free-as-in-beer Python on Windows *because* people were free, in 
both senses, to develop it on *nix.
