To build python with MSVC 2008:

 1. Download the Python-2.5.1.tar.bz2 from ["http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.1/"]

 1. Extract the files

 1. Open .../Python-2.5.1/PCbuild8/pcbuild.sln

 1. Remove from the solution explorer the packages tkinter, sqlite, bsdb, and bz2

 1. Under Project->properties->configuration properties switch debug to release

 1. Hit f5

 1. The .exe's should be under .../Python-2.5.1/PCbuild8/Win32Release
NOTES: Python 2.6 and 3.0 should be building under 2008 without package removal, so this is most likely a temporary fix.
