Message 145691 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

To port the patch to packaging, go into your CPython 3.3 checkout and edit Lib/packaging/compiler/msvc9compiler.py (and its test :).

To port the patch to distutils2, clone http://hg.python.org/distutils2/ and edit distutils/compiler/msvc9compiler.py (same :). Test with Python 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7. Then hg update python3, hg merge default, test with Python 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3. Then you can push :)

If you don’t have the necessary Pythons or roundtuits, I’ll port the patch when I get a Windows VM. There’s plenty of time before Python 3.3 is out.
