For those who don't want to dig into the issues and pull requests, it 
seems that multiple libraries were patching different parts of distutils 
and adding extra quotes to the command line. This was apparently only 
occurring with Python 3.5.


The main reason I want to add to this post is that *Python 3.5 is still 
taking bugfixes*. If there is a problem in distutils, please report it 
to bugs.python.org first so we can fix it, and then look into 
monkeypatching the older versions.


Cheers,
Steve

[Distutils] setuptools 25.1.6 broke numpy.distutils on Windows

2016-08-09 Thread Antoine Pitrou 

Hello,

Just a heads-up that latest setuptools is incompatible with
numpy.distutils on Windows:
https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/728

The whole scientific community will suffer until this issue is solved
one way or the other (either on the setuptools side, or on the Numpy
side, or both).

Regards

Antoine.
