As I reviewed the PR, I do realize how tricky this change is going to be. In addition to the three MSVC implementations in distutils, Setuptools has its own (https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/blob/master/setuptools/msvc.py). Interestingly, that file indicates support for ARM (when describing support for MSVC 14+), so at least someone has previously embarked on this territory. If it turns out that supporting ARM in msvc9compiler also implies adding support for MSVC 14+, I think you'll be hard-pressed to find a satisfying solution that doesn't break compatibility for many use-cases. Thanks for investigating this issue and good luck. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42405> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
