Wading through the numpy/distutils code some more. Would something as
simple as this work all the time? Seems to do the trick for me.
from distutils.dist import Distribution
from distutils.command.config import config as distutils_config
from distutils import log
dummy_c_text = r'''
void do_nothing(void);
int main(void) {
do_nothing();
return 0;
}
'''
def has_c_compiler():
c = distutils_config(Distribution())
try:
success = c.try_compile(dummy_c_text)
return True
except:
log.info("No C compiler detected of files.")
return False
