Steve Dower added the comment: It's better than using the Visual Studio version, which isn't necessarily tied to any VC version. To support another compiler will require more code like this anyway.
An alternative may be to patch Tcl et al. to not put the VC version into the output path? That's likely to lead to different problems for people though... ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26079> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
