New submission from xoviat: MSVC 2017 retains ABI compatibility with MSVC 2015, yet supports (as always with a newer compiler version) more features and compiles faster. Because it retains ABI compatibility with existing Python versions, I think it makes sense for distutils to prefer it (this could be fixed in setuptools, but distutils generally takes care of compiler detection).
Thoughts? ---------- components: Distutils messages: 303057 nosy: dstufft, merwok, xoviat priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Preferring MSVC 2017 in Python 3.5.x and 3.6.x new minor releases type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31595> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
