distutils.msvc9compiler imports winreg internally, and it only exists on windows, so importing distutils.msvc9..... compiler may raise ImportError on Linux. So I imported only when sys.platform == "win32". Committed in r84760(py3k). And will be merged into other branches. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9313> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
