title: how to compile with Visual Studio 2008 when Visual Studio 2010 is installed?
body: <p>I'm trying to build mrjbq7's wrapper for TA-Lib for Python. After several attempts, I'm fairly sure the wrapper won't build because I have Visual Studio 2010, but my Python is looking for the compiler from Visual Studio 2008. Is it possible to get only the compiler? I have a feeling I may need to install Visual Studio 2008 side by side (saw another thread said this works with no problem), but would prefer to avoid it if possible. Is it possible?<br>
  More info:<br>
  Visual Studio 2010 Express installed<br>
  Windows 7<br>
  Python 2.7.3<br>
  pythonxy27 also installed<br>
  Reason to suspect it is compiler version:<br>
  a - last error I get is reference to unknown _ftol2_sse_, which other threads have said is due to using the wrong compiler<br>
  b - sys.version for MSC v. is 1500, which is for MSVC 9.0 (used a couple of lines from distutils\cygwincompiler.py in an interpreter to find this)    </p>
  
  <p>I hope that's all required info, I'll add more if needed.  </p>
