We can make Python compile with Visual Studio 2010, but it will not be the platform Python is released on, it would be optional while 2008 stays the release target, at least through Python 3.3. In Python 3.4, we may re-evaluate this, and it's likely we would jump over 2010 and move to Visual Studio 2012 at that point (per discussions on python-dev).

As for your first point, Visual Studio 2008 is still available on the Microsoft site, it's just not the first thing you usually find. If you look here - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/express/future/bb421473 - you can find it.


Anyway, I've done this port internally at my company, but I'm not able to release that patch. I am, however, willing to do it personally so it could be included here. If anyone else is interested in working on it, it should follow the same format as other VS version support, going in the PC/VS{version} folder.

Also, reclassified this to the proper version, 3.3, since it's a feature request.
