The first paragraph in PCbuild/readme.txt of Python 3.3 still talks about Visual C++ 2008 Express and Visual Studio 2008. It says that VS 2008 is required at the very least (which may be still true, I'm not sure), but then it also says "the official Python releases are built with this [i.e. the 2008] version of VS", while it seems they have been built with VS 2010 in reality (as the title is also indicating).

Here's a simple patch to clear up the first paragraph of PCbuild/readme.txt, applicable to 3.3 and default.
