[issue16668] Remove python3dll.vcxproj from pcbuild.sln
New submission from Trent Nelson: As far as I can tell, the python3dll.vcxproj is bitrot and should be removed from pcbuild.sln. It's a makefile target project that invokes ..\PC\python3.mak, which builds a target named python3.dll; however, pythoncore.vxcproj builds python34[_d].dll as a proper VS project. (Additionally, the python3dll.vxcproj has no Debug configuration, which is what brought it to my attention in the first place.) Christian/Martin: is this python3dll.vcxproj and resulting python3.dll still used or can it be safely removed from pcbuild.sln? -- assignee: trent components: Build messages: 177372 nosy: christian.heimes, loewis, trent priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Remove python3dll.vcxproj from pcbuild.sln versions: Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue16668 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Martin v. Löwis added the comment: Yes, it's still used. python3.dll is different from python3X.dll, and specified in PEP 384. It will remain in Python until Python 4 comes along (and then likely be replaced by python4.dll). -- resolution: - invalid status: open - closed ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue16668 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Trent Nelson added the comment: Thanks Martin, I wasn't aware of that PEP. Explains why there isn't a debug configuration, too. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue16668 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
