compiling python source code under VC8

[guptaabhishek1983 at gmail.com]

Hello everyone,
 I am trying to build python from scratch under VC8. The build process
runs and completes succesfully in debug mode resulting in
python_d.exe. But when i try to run this exe it returns an assertion
error and application crashes.

Has anyone successfully build python using VC8. Your help will be
greatful.

Thank You All
