Only one change neccessary, in sysconfig.py line 150: g['SO'] = '.dll' make this: g['SO'] = '.pyd'
It's bad to do that here. This is supposed to be for general stuff. DLLs are called .dll; python extensions are called .pyd. The output extension is supposedly set in msvccompiler, but then build_extension doesn't use it.
The current msvccompiler.py I sent to you adds the /INCREMENTAL:No flag to the linker, which will suppress the .ilk file (used for incremental linking).
The generation of .exp and .lib files cannot be suppressed by command line flags.
If you want to use msvccompiler.py in a way you described above, we cannot simply delete the .exp and .lib files because they may be needed for dependent modules to be build. Wouldn't it be better to change install_ext to only copy the expected files?
