But compiler[:3] implies that the compiler string starts *with* 'gcc'. so are you sure we're looking for 'gcc' anywhere in the string, or at the beginning of it ? In any case, I find these string searches very weak in there. I am going to refactor a function in distutils that guesses the type of compiler, given a list of known compilers 'names' and a list of matching strings (or regular expressions) for them. I'll take all cases from unixcompiler and add a test for that, then use it in this code. Please don't hesitate to give me your list of compiler string -> compiler 'type' so I can add them in my test.
