FYI: PEP 632: Deprecate distutils module
by Steve Dower Sept. 4, 2020

Sept. 4, 2020

Hi distutils-sig Just wanted to let you know that I've proposed a core CPython PEP to formally deprecate and remove the standard library distutils module. Text and discussion at https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-632-deprecate-distutils-module/5134 The PEP has gone to python-dev formally because it only deals with the standard library module. setuptools, pip, and recent package work feature in the motivation, but are not bound to follow anything in this PEP. Cheers, Steve

appveyor failures
by Robin Becker Sept. 3, 2020

Sept. 3, 2020

looking here for build expertise apologies if not suitable After a python source change one of my appveyor builds has started to fail compiling an extension. The previous build 28/August succeeded completely, but now I see a failure in the third sub-build. No change was made in the c source code. Python 2.7 X86 OK Python 2.7 AMD64 OK Python 3.5 X86 Fails compiling _renderPM.c at line 2150 > C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\BIN\cl.exe /c /nologo /Ox /W3 /GL /DNDEBUG /MD -DRENDERPM_FT -DLIBART_COMPILATION -DLIBART_VERSION=\"2.3.21\" -Isrc\rl_addons\renderPM -Isrc\rl_addons\renderPM\libart_lgpl -Isrc\rl_addons\renderPM\gt1 -Iwinstuff\include\freetype2 -Ic:\Python35\include -Ic:\Python35\include -IC:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\INCLUDE -IC:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\ATLMFC\INCLUDE -IC:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.18362.0\ucrt -IC:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\NETFXSDK\4.6.1\include\um -IC:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.18362.0\shared -IC:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.18362.0\um -IC:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.18362.0\winrt /Tcsrc\rl_addons\renderPM\_renderPM.c /Fobuild\temp.win32-3.5\Release\src\rl_addons\renderPM\_renderPM.obj > _renderPM.c > src\rl_addons\renderPM\_renderPM.c(2150): error C2017: illegal escape sequence > src\rl_addons\renderPM\_renderPM.c(2150): error C2001: newline in constant > src\rl_addons\renderPM\_renderPM.c(2151): error C2143: syntax error: missing ')' before 'if' > error: command 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\\VC\\BIN\\cl.exe' failed with the code there looks like this PyModule_AddObject(m, "_version", obj); obj = PyUnicode_FromString(LIBART_VERSION); /* this is line 2150 */ if(!obj)goto err; PyModule_AddObject(m, "_libart_version", obj); so it looks like the -DLIBART_VERSION=\"2.3.21\" is failing to pass stuff correctly. The Aug 28 build that worked perfectly used this command line > C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\BIN\cl.exe /c /nologo /Ox /W3 /GL /DNDEBUG /MD -DRENDERPM_FT -DLIBART_COMPILATION -DLIBART_VERSION=\"2.3.21\" -Isrc\rl_addons\renderPM -Isrc\rl_addons\renderPM\libart_lgpl -Isrc\rl_addons\renderPM\gt1 -Iwinstuff\include\freetype2 -Ic:\Python35\include -Ic:\Python35\include "-IC:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\INCLUDE" "-IC:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\ATLMFC\INCLUDE" "-IC:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.18362.0\ucrt" "-IC:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\NETFXSDK\4.6.1\include\um" "-IC:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.18362.0\shared" "-IC:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.18362.0\um" "-IC:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.18362.0\winrt" /Tcsrc\rl_addons\renderPM\_renderPM.c /Fobuild\temp.win32-3.5\Release\src\rl_addons\renderPM\_renderPM.obj which looks identical. So it must be the environment/image. The build image is set at Visual Studio 2015. I tried using the previous image, but no luck there. Any ideas / advice welcome. Should I be using a stringify macro? -- Robin Becker
