New submission from gladman:
I have been using _msvcompiler.py from Python 3.5 to build some executables but
I have been unable to get it to generate and embed a manifest.
When I looked into this I found that the subroutine that sets up the parameters
for generating a manifest ('manifest_get_embed_info' at around line 471) has
the line:
ld_args.append('/MANIFESTFILE:' + temp_manifest)
to set the manifest's name but doesn't actually ask for a manifest to be
generated. Here is what is said about /MANIFESTFILE on MSDN:
"/MANIFESTFILE will have no effect if you do not also link with /MANIFEST."
After adding:
ld_args.append('/MANIFEST')
before the above line, I then succeed in obtaining the manifest.
