New submission from Marc-Andre Lemburg: Trying to use .get_msvc_path() on an distutils.msvccompiler.MSVCCompiler() instance raises an AttributeError:
MSVCCompiler instance has no attribute '_MSVCCompiler__root' The reason seems to be that self.__root is not set for Win x64 in .__init__(). Here's an example from Python 2.7.9: >>> from distutils.msvccompiler import * >>> c = OldMSVCCompiler() >>> vars(c) {'force': 0, 'verbose': 0, 'dry_run': 0, 'runtime_library_dirs': [], 'libraries': [], 'macros': [], 'objects': [], 'output_dir': None, '_MSVCCompiler__product': 'Microsoft SDK compiler 15.0', 'initialized': False, '_MSVCCompiler__arch': 'AMD64', '_MSVCCompiler__version': 9.0, 'library_dirs': [], 'include_dirs': []} >>> c.get_msvc_paths('include') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "D:\Python27\lib\distutils\msvccompiler.py", line 615, in get_msvc_paths % (self.__root, self.__version)) AttributeError: MSVCCompiler instance has no attribute '_MSVCCompiler__root' The newer implementation of MSVCCompiler in msvc9compiler doesn't have this method, so cannot be used to find the include and library paths. ---------- components: Distutils messages: 242274 nosy: dstufft, eric.araujo, lemburg priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: MSVCCompiler.get_msvc_path() doesn't work on Win x64 versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24083> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
