Michael Clerx added the comment: @Mark I don't quite understand what you're saying. Distutils supports it, provided you add a line to distutils.cfg. I've been using the PythonXY versions of Python with MinGW (everything before 2.7.9.0) to happily compile for nearly 4 years now.
Regarding your earlier suggestion about distutils and Visual C++ for Python, I hacked something together to do it dynamically in the script using distutils. Very ugly :-) import platform if platform.system() == 'Windows': vcpath = os.environ['ProgramFiles'] vcpath = os.path.join(vcpath, 'Common Files', 'Microsoft', 'Visual C++ for Python', '9.0', 'vcvarsall.bat') if os.path.isfile(vcpath): import distutils.msvc9compiler old_find = distutils.msvc9compiler.find_vcvarsall def new_find(version): path = old_find(version) if path is None: return vcpath distutils.msvc9compiler.find_vcvarsall = new_find ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23246> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
