New submission from Cournapeau David <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I tried to build some extensions with python 2.6 (built from sources with VS 2008 express), and got some errors in the function query_vcvarsall. The offending lines are:
if len(result) != len(interesting): raise ValueError(str(list(result.keys()))) I got a value error here. After some investigation, I realized that it was because I did not install the SDK. I think the error message could be isgnificantly improved if installing the SDK was suggested in the exception message. ---------- components: Distutils messages: 67187 nosy: cdavid severity: normal status: open title: Distutils should generate a better error message when the SDK is not installed __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2943> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
