bpo-29718: Fixed compile on cygwin. by AraHaan · Pull Request #447 · python/cpython (original) (raw)

Python 3.7 had an issue just like 3.6 with the TLS entries. As such the only way to compile on Cygwin was to replace TLS with TSS. This also fixes issues that was present in the standard library and setup.py in the repo for cygwin as well. TSS is the thing that actually gets python 3.7 to work on cygwin and in fact the only thing currently so TLS is not really used on it at all after this is merged. This will not affect building on MAC, windows, nor even linux at all it will only affect cygwin.
