New submission from Hugh Fisher <hugo.fis...@gmail.com>: This was raised in issue #23246 but apparently not addressed at the time.
The Visual C for Python 2.7 tools on my MS Windows 8.1 system installed themselves under the invisible AppData directory because I did not do so as Administrator. Running setup.py to build a (2.7) native extension then fails because it can't find VCVERSALL.BAT. Fix is a couple of extra lines in find_vcvarsall in msvc9compiler.py to search under AppData if it can't be found in the system location. I will submit a pull request. ---------- components: Distutils messages: 305470 nosy: dstufft, eric.araujo, laranzu priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: setup.py cannot find vcversall.bat on MSWin 8.1 if installed in user AppData type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31932> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
