Unfortunately to be able to use the extension modules provided by others you'll be forced to use the official compiler to compile Python. These are:

Visual Studio 2008 for Python 2.7. See: https://docs.python.org/2.7/using/windows.html#compiling-python-on-windows
Visual Studio 2010 for Python 3.4. See: https://docs.python.org/3.4/using/windows.html#compiling-python-on-windows

Alternatively, you can use MinGw to compile extensions in a way that won't depend on others.

See: https://docs.python.org/2/install/#gnu-c-cygwin-MinGW or https://docs.python.org/3.4/install/#gnu-c-cygwin-mingw

This allows you to have one compiler to build your extensions for both versions of Python, Python 2.x and Python 3.x.

Visual Studio Community 2015 suffices to build extensions for Python 3 5  It s free but a 6 GB download  overkill   On my computer it installed vcvarsall at  C  Program Files  x86  Microsoft Visual Studio 14 0 VC vcvarsall bat  For Python 3 4 you d need Visual Studio 2010  I don t think there s any free edition  See https   matthew-brett github io pydagogue python msvc html
