Steve Dower added the comment: For this particular issue, the way to detect it is to read HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\DevDiv\vc\Servicing\14.0\Tools.X86.X64@UpdateVersion and see if it is at least "14.0.23506".
This doesn't extend to other VS versions, but it should be sufficient to skip the tests for this bug. I really don't want that check in the actual stdlib. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26207> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
