Hi, I'm unable to compile Python default (3.6) on Windows 7 with Visual Studio 2010: it requires "ucrtd.lib" which looks like a new feature of Visual Studio 2015. Please update the developer guide to be more explicit:

Current text says that VS 2010 SP1 is supported. Well, I don't have the SP1, but I don't think that ucrtd.lib comes with VS 2010 SP1 anyway.

"""
Python 3.5 and later use Microsoft Visual Studio 2015. You can download Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 CTP 6 or newer, or you can continue to use Visual Studio 2010 SP1 until Microsoft releases the final version of Visual Studio 2015.

Technically it says that it will work until VS 2015 is released (which happened last Monday), but the statement certainly should be clarified now. I'll do it.

I'm still waiting to hear what options will be available for installing the compilers without a full VS, but right now there aren't any good options I'm afraid.

Well, for me the most important point is to document the current supported compilers. Good if we support more options later ;-)

Dev guide has been updated. I assume it'll flow through to the website eventually, though that hasn't happened yet.
