Holger Waldmann added the comment: On Python 3.3.3 it is even worse. I am using Python 3.3.3 (32bit) on Windows 7 (64bit). Visual Studio C++ 2008 Express Edition is properly installed.
Note: I use Python 32bit because Visual Studio C++ 2008 Express Edition includes only the 32bit compiler. Using Google I did find the instructions on http://stackoverflow.com/q/2817869/284795 But they were of no help. There are two problems that are not addressed. Problem #1: distutils/msvc9compiler.py decides to look for the 32bit registry key (because it is a 32bit Python) but it should look for the 64bit registry key (because it is a 64bit Windows). Problem #2: distutils/msvc9compiler.py decides to look for VERSION=10 I did some reverse engineering on the module to find this information. Why is this not documented? After setting VS100COMNTOOLS=%VS90COMNTOOLS% everything worked fine. ---------- nosy: +waldhol versions: +Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2943> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
