Gregory P. Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: agreed, do not check to see if the string is == 'gcc'. Instead, actually execute the CC compiler with a -v flag and test if 'gcc version' in output.
something like this (but split into a few statements for readability): if 'gcc version' not in os.popen(sysconfig.get_config_vars().get('CC', 'gcc') + ' -v').read(): # gcc is required for ctypes ---------- nosy: +gregory.p.smith __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2552> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
