New submission from Cournapeau David <da...@ar.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp>:
cygwin compiler modules in distutils check versions of the toolchain, and break is the version is not a released one. I can't see the rationale for such a behavior, and it is particularly annoying since it cannot be bypassed AFAIK. As it is the only toolchain to use those version checks, I suggest to just remove them. This affects every python version from 2.4 to 2.6, and possibly the 3.* versions as well. ---------- assignee: tarek components: Distutils messages: 87876 nosy: cdavid, tarek severity: normal status: open title: cygwin compilers should not check compiler versions _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6039> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
