This is a copy of the Distutils package from Python (currently version
|
||
|
2.3a2.) This newer copy of distutils is used for all versions of
|
||
|
Python to avoid some problems in the older versions that show up in
|
||
|
wxPython builds and to avoid having to make some ugly hacks in local
|
||
|
modules to work around them.
|
||
|
|
||
|
There is one little 1-line customization (hack) in msvccompiler.py
|
||
|
that allows the CFLAGS to be given on the RC.EXE command line. This
|
||
|
is required so the wx.rc files can be found when it is #included. I've
|
||
|
submitted this patch to the Python project so if it gets into the main
|
||
|
Distutils distribution I can remove this code. (However, the newer
|
||
|
version of distutils should still always be used, at least on Windows,
|
||
|
so it will need to wait until there it a Distutils distribution that
|
||
|
can be installed on the older Pythons.)
|
||
|
|
||
|
I have not yet applied any patches specifically for MSCV 7 yet. So
|
||
|
far it appears that if you have the PATH setup properly (like I
|
||
|
usually do) that distutils works as is.
