I'm interpreting the issue differently - it was withdrawn by the submitter, indicating that it isn't an issue with Python. Even though I still don't understand the original issue, apparently, it is an issue only if the localtime() function is used. Extensions that don't use it might still work fine, according to the report. > If my understanding of the issue is correct, then the mingw32 compiler > should be removed from distutils and the documentation corrected to > indicate the lack of support for this compiler toolchain. I think this is exaggerating the actual state. The compiler is certainly supported. ---------- nosy: +loewis title: distutils tricks you into thinking you can build extensions with mingw -> distutils tricks you into thinking you can build extensions with mingw _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6007> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
