pyconfig.h checks for _MSC_VER and based on its value decides to include <basetsd.h>. MS VC++ Express reports _MSC_VER to be 1400 but does _NOT_ have the file basetsd.h. So when including Python.h with the Microsoft VC Express compiler, pyconfig.h will try to include the non existing basetsd.h and compiling fails. |

What version of VC++ Express are you specifically referring to? |

MS VC++ 2005 Express Edition |

I found that BaseTsd.h is part of the Windows SDK, which is not included in the Express Edition. It can be installed separately. OTOH, the python core still compiles without the #include <basetsd.h> (using VC++ 2005 Express Edition). What about other compilers? What is this file needed for? |

This is still the case with Visual Studio Express 2008. It can be fixed by downloading the Windows SDK, though it would be nicer if this was not necessary. Download link: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowssdk/archive/2008/02/07/ windows-sdk-rtms.aspx I recommend the "web install", since only the headers and libraries are needed, not the whole 1GB blob that comes with it. Amaury: The file python.hpp, thus basetsd.h, is used by boost-python. |

> Amaury: The file python.hpp, thus basetsd.h, is used by boost-python. I don't think that was the question. Instead, the question was: why is basetsd.h needed in the first place, when compiling Python? Apparently, basetsd was added in r15912. Fred, can you remember what the rationale was? |
