( Upstreamed from Pip https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/942 )
There are lot of Python users on Windows. If they succeed in installing a
package manager (a struggle), this is typically their first experience with it
$ pip install numpy
blah blah blah
New submission from Matt Hickford:
Python should ship with a full-featured package manager. Why?
1. Most programmers would rather use a reliable maintained library for a common
task than roll their own code. Then the programmer can get on with solving
their unique problems. This assumes the

Please could you share a link to a previous discussion about packaging?
I'm interested in user experience 'Python should ship with first class
package management like other languages' rather than technical details
'Python should ship with d

For comparison, Ruby ships with a package manager, Gem. If a user tries to
install a package with C extensions, they are given this user-friendly message:

Hi distutils. I wrote a setup.py that conditions on compiler type, following
the guide at [1]. I needed to add an extra include when the compiler is an msvc
version older than 9.0 (infamously missing stdint.h [2])
Anyway the code I wrote to do this was:

Hi Steve. Thanks for your reply. In the end I went with your something
similar to your third suggestion. It's important I wanted to condition on
what compiler distutils is using *now* to the build the extension on my
computer, rather than what compile

It matters if you're trying to write a library that builds reliably

2. On Windows compiler=msvc
3. On Windows compiler=mingw32 (many people set this in distutils.cfg [1])

Yes you're right. My setup.py if you're curious

Separately, I think compiler=mingw32 is broken in Python 3.5 on computers
with Visual Studio 2015 installed. http://bugs.python.org/iss

I'm not sure what the correct analogue of msvcr100 is for Visual C++ 14.0.

Hi Ateik. Find cygwinccompiler.py on your computer and copy the patch to
the same folder. Then run the command `patch < patch.diff`. It that doesn't
work, just open both files in a text editor and copy and paste the lines to
the right place, you'l
