I'd be happy with a more explicit error. As you say, it's a broken build so not worth worrying too much about, but it did take me quite a while to work out what the problem was, including having to raise this bug report. (The existing traceback doesn't even mention _msi). So yes, a simple error would be ideal. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13172> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
