I ran across this problem myself awhile back, and it seems to be common enough that they added a feature to distutils to handle it. I have added a copy of my setup.cfg to CVS, which contains: <code> [build] force=1 [bdist_wininst] user_access_control=auto </code>
With "force=1", it should theoretically clean out the build directory on every run. -- Vernon On Fri, Mar 4, 2011 at 5:18 PM, Mark Hammond <mhamm...@skippinet.com.au> wrote: > The Python 3.2 32-bit build was the only one affected and I've uploaded a > 216.1 build for this version only.
