Re: Regression in build 1964, AddGrowableCol fails

Aha, I did find the "VC for Python" 9.0 compiler, thanks a bunch!

The 3.5 port isn't going to happen soon for us: 40k lines of gui code
dependent on wxPython and another 30k lines or so with VTK dependencies
that will need an as-yet unknown amount of work... The other 130k lines of
"pure python" is already pretty much ready to go, except for the bytes/str
nightmare I'm sure we'll encounter...

Thanks again for the pointer to that 9.0 compiler.
