It's not supported for building Python, is what I meant. I don't know what the status is for Microsoft support of VS2012, but I'd expect it's security fix only by now.

Being able to support building Python with alternative compilers is a task that we don't have the volunteers to support, especially on Windows. That said, I'm not against taking patches like this to improve it, but I'd expect they'll be treated as an enhancement and won't make it into any version before 3.4.
