Steve Dower added the comment: FWIW, the problem in the original post is that '-DMODULE_VERSION="1.0.5"' is not quoted by distutils and the quotes are eaten.
This can be fixed by specifying '-DMODULE_VERSION=\"1.0.5\"'. There are no spaces in the argument, so the problem is that cl.exe eats unescaped quotes, not that we aren't automatically changing users arguments. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8987> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
