Issue 25100: Test_distutils fails instead of skipping if no VS2015 (original) (raw)

Moved here from #12420 as a new and separate issue after diagnosis by Mark Lawrence and Zack Ware. The following failures on new 3.5.0 all end with the same message about vcvarsall.bat (slightly different from 3.4 failures).

Distutils is now deprecated (see PEP 632) and all tagged issues are being closed. From now until removal, only release blocking issues will be considered for distutils.

If this issue does not relate to distutils, please remove the component and reopen it. If you believe it still requires a fix, most likely the issue should be re-reported at https://github.com/pypa/setuptools
