Re: [Distutils] define_macros ignored?

I am working on a setup script for Tkinter, which requires a -DWITH_APPINIT flag at compile time. The docs suggest that I should add the following definition to my Extension constructor call: define_macros=[('WITH_APPINIT', None),],

I did this, but it had no effect. It looks like there is no where that the define_macros attribute of the Extension object is actually used.

For the record: this bug has now been fixed; it's in the latest code snapshot. Thanks to Jeremy for pointing it out this time. (And I think to AMK for pointing it out a couple months ago... oops...) Greg
