Windows Python Version and VC++ Redistributable Version

Question

Can someone help fill out this table, or link to a reference, that identifies which version of VC++ Redistributable each Python version is built against on Windows.

Answer 1

Python 2.5 links against msvcr71 just like 2.4. Versions 2.6 and 2.7 link against msvcr90 which is the VS2008 runtime. In fact versions 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2 also link against msvcr90.

The msvcr90 redistributable is here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=29
