Yes, this is a C compiler - I believe that this is the command line
Microsoft compiler which is effectively a free download (in the
absence of SKS providing the info, you'll need to google for more info
because I can't give you any details).

At this stage of its life, PySQLite appears to be a source only
distribution (I've d/l the source myself, but have yet to play...).
