  • 0

I have a C extension module and it would be nice to distribute built binaries. Setuptools makes it easy to build extensions modules on OS X and GNU/Linux, since those OSs come with GCC, but I don’t know how to do it in Windows.

Would I need to buy a copy of Visual Studio, or does Visual Studio Express work? Can I just use Cygwin or MinGW?

    You can use both MinGW and VC++ Express (free, no need to buy it).
