[New-bugs-announce] [issue9875] Garbage output when running setup.py on Windows

[Jean-Paul Calderone]

New submission from Jean-Paul Calderone <invalid at example.invalid>:

The output of setup.py is polluted with this log message:

  Importing new compiler from distutils.msvc9compiler

on Windows.  For example, using pyOpenSSL's setup.py, running "setup.py --version" produces this output:

  Importing new compiler from distutils.msvc9compiler
  0.10

But the version number of pyOpenSSL is "0.10", not "Importing new compiler from distutils.msvc9compiler\n0.10".

The --quiet flag does not solve this problem, apparently because this log message is done at the top-level of msvccompiler.py, perhaps before --quiet is interpreted.

This interferes with my build automation which depends on "setup.py --version" producing the version number of the project in order to properly compute certain filenames.
