What version of Visual Studio is Python on my computer compiled with?

I am trying to find out the version of Visual Studio that is used to c开发者_开发知识库ompile the Python on my computer

It says

Python 2.6.2 (r262:71605, Apr 14 2009, 22:40:02) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

What I do not understand is this MSC V.1500 designation. Does it mean it is compiled with Visual Studio 2005? I cannot find this information on http://python.org.

Source: the documentation for the _MSC_VER predefined macro

MSC v.1500 appears to be Visual C++ 2008 according to this thread on the OpenCobol forums (of all places).

The MSDN page on Predefined Macros indicates 1500 to be the result of the _MSC_VER macro.

This other forum post mentions that

(For reference, Visual Studio 2003 has _MSC_VER = 1310; Visual Studio 2005 has _MSC_VER = 1400; Visual Studio 2008 has _MSC_VER = 1500.)

The above MSDN link said that 1600 indicates VS2010.

Strangely, I wasn't able to find that info about the earlier _MSC_VER values on MSDN.
