Also, is more than just a SourceForge account necessary to do a read-only
checkout of the code?

To do a read-only checkout of the code, you don't even need a
SourceForge account. Just clone it:

hg clone http://pywin32.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/pywin32/pywin32

The previous poster's question was: which version of VS is used to build
pywin32. Since it's built via distutils, you would normally use the VS
version which is used to build the version of Python you're running. For
2.6, 2.7 that's VS 2008; for 3.x that's VS 2010. (I can't remember if VS
2010 came in after 3.0). For 3.5, it's looking like any of 2010, 2013,
2015 will work but I haven't tested building against those yet; don't
know if Mark has either.
