I removed the MSVC12 Python builds I had (they didn't work correctly for some reason), and I tried building Python 3.4.1 with MSVC11 earlier today, and I have the builds working, other than the 'pythonw' executable, which exits with error code 9009 (DNS_ERROR_RCODE_NOTAUTH, according to msdn[^]  )
I have successfully installed a module that includes C extensions (Markupsafe).
I am going to continue toying around with this, and I think I am going to start a project on SourceForge to distribute these builds. I will post a link here when I get it online.
I will try Python 2.7.8 tomorrow.

Meh. Put it on GitHub. While I loathe git, I do find GitHub to be easy to use and, from my narrow perspective, the "in" thing, which is also pathetic because I don't like to do what the masses are doing. SourceForge seems sort of passe.

I am using the unmodified (other than project file upgrades) sources from Python.org, and don't have any real items to put into source control. If I get a complete build system set up I might put it on Github.

I'm working with my Beaglebone Black and whenever my BBB boots up and I have it connected via USB the Lightroom application on my PC starts up.
It baffled me for a while then I figured out what the heck was going on...Auto play under Pictures?
Well I chuckled, but I'm easily amused!

Disabled it globally! I had only disabled it for Pictures but after I got your answer I went in and turned it off globally. Don't think it will effect me but I know how to turn it back on if it does.

I'm not sure if I want to call this a rant or a joke.
I'm trying to get a simple database up and running on Sql Server. I DON'T CARE WHAT VERSION. I simply cannot find the management tools entry for "Create elephanting database". It appears that over the past year, I have installed items that conflict. Fine, I'll clean it up. This is what I find in my Uninstall list - no less than 20 items related to this product. Mind you, I don't remember installing ANY of them. And my gin intake is sadly way way down.

I feel your pain, I have just finished removing all the SQL bits from my machine with the view to installing 2014, took hours. Then I ran a registry cleaner as the last time (2012) I installed SQL it bitched about express version, from VS being installed. Bloody nightmare.
Oh I got the registry cleaner from free tools recommended by Bill Woodruff, cleaned 7k+ invalid entries from the registry and I didn't even need the restore point  .
Todays exercise, install SQL 2014, I am not optimistic!

My rant has more to do with "Why do you make it so elephanting hard?"
What I have found is that I had installed various applications that made use of assorted versions of Sql Server. This is where the multitude of debris came from. Anytime I tried to remove one, I would receive an ominous warning about how something else depended on it. Finally, I just said f*** it and plowed on. And eventually, it was all removed.
So, I reinstalled 2005 (compatible with my VS 2008, yes, I know I need an upgrade), and now I am at the point of trying to connect to Sql Server via the mgt tool to create a database. Nothing gets me past an ominous message of not being able to connect....
No clues, nothing. Now, I have a good idea what I need to do, but really, it should not be this hard. I now have to stop playing and start working. Maybe next week.

2014 installed without a problem, unlike 2008/2012 which both required various tweaks to get them to work properly. I can understand using 2005, like word I have not needed any of the newer features of SQL Server for some time.
Just be thankful you are not trying to install Oracle
