I just downloaded and installed this, and see a directory called

c:\program files\microsoft visual studio .net 2003\vc7

with bin\cl.exe  and  lib and include directories.  So presumably
I'm good to go?  

I'm following this thread because I'll need to
compile and install some extensions I've written for linux/gcc/python2.4
in our Windows computer lab.   Presuming I succeed in setting up
vc7 correctly, is it as simple as 'python setup.py install' from here?

Thanks, Phil
