Add "Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7" in Build Workers software?
Python 2.7 (the only Python 2.x version supported as of now and until 2020) is built on windows with Visual Studio 2008 C compiler. That dictates that the compiler which must be used by authors of third party Python modules.
As that version of VS is deprecated. MS has provided a dedicated toolset so these developers can use it during what remains of the life cycle of Python 2.7.
It contains both x86/x64 toolchains and allow develepers to use a simple tool without having to naviggate the nightmare of compilers and platform SDKs with their own .BAT files to activate the respective environment vars.
