[Baypiggies] p2exe combined with building C extension for python on WinXP with Visual C++ 2005

[Shannon -jj Behrens]

I've heard getting all that stuff to compile on Windows is very
painful.  I'm no Windows guy, but if I were in your shoes, I'd be
asking around for a copy of Visual C++ 2003.

I have the feeling there must be a simpler way.
