Steve Dower added the comment: Once you've established that MSVC is being used, you can infer the version from the Python version, is what I meant by "it doesn't matter". The version attribute on the compiler instance is never going to differ pre-3.5, and post-3.5 it doesn't even exist.
Generally, I'd say you're safer to detect and check _MSC_VER in your C code if it's relevant, as that will also handle builds that don't go via your setup.py. ---------- resolution: -> not a bug status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25250> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
