This error occurs because distutils is looking Visual Studio 2008.

Building a Python extension on Windows requires that you have the same C 
compiler that was used to build Python.  The Windows binaries from python.org 
for Python 2.6+ are built with Visual Studio 2008.

If you want to use Visual Studio 2010 then you need to build Python yourself 
from source code.  There are some notes on how to do this here:
http://wiki.python.org/moin/VS2010

Note that this would mean you must also build from source every other library 
that you use which contains C extensions.

As mentioned, you must use the same version of Visual Studio that Python was 
built with.
