I have hit this error when using the MS SDK (both 7.0 on Python 2.7, and 7.1 on Python 3.3 and 3.4) with DISTUTILS_USE_SDK set. Unless I have somehow misconfigured my installation, this bug prevents me from having any means of building Python extensions using free tools for 64-bit Windows. It is possible I have misconfigured something, as I am working from various notes on the web, plus trial and error, because there is no official documentation I have found on how to set up the SDK for use with distutils in this manner. ---------- nosy: +pmoore _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7511> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
