I can't build the cpython with Visual Studio 2012 because of the following errors:


"D:\Repository\cpython\PCbuild\pcbuild.sln" (default target) (1) ->

Anyway, I replaced Python33/Include/import.h with cpython/Include/import.h directly, and it works well with my sample code. Thank you.


By the way, here's a discussion about the "fci.lib" issue, which suggests replacing fci.lib with cabinet.lib: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/3b85f36e-dffe-4589-adc3-13673b349812/missing-fcilib-in-windows-sdk-80?forum=vcgeneral
