This is intentional. Older SDKs still set the variable, so there is nothing wrong with checking it. > 2) I have also install MSVC 2010 Express Edition, and its > vcvarsall.bat can't be found. MSVC 2010 is not supported for building Python 2.7 extension modules. > a) Can i use different version of MSVC from which python is built for > extension development ? No. Because of the way the MSVCRT works, this can cause crashes. > b) Can i use mingw compiler to develop extension for the pre-built > windows binary python ? Yes, in principle. In practice, it may fail because of gcc limitations. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14708> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
