I've tried to build and install ctypes from sources

I ran the following command:

 >> python setup.py build

and I got the following message:

 >> error: Python was built with version 6 of Visual Studio, and 
extensions need to
be built with the same version of the compiler, but it isn't installed.


:( :( :( :( So sad ....
