[New-bugs-announce] [issue17371] Mismatch between Python 3.3 build environment and distutils compiler support

[Hc.Z]

New submission from Hc.Z:

My python environment is Python3.3 in Windows 7 32-bit. I was installing Pandas package from source code, through Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express is installed in my computer, the installation process still failed and report a "Unable to find vcvarsall.bat" error.
I checked the problem reading the distutils.msvc9compiler.py module. Class method find_vcvarsall() and query_vcvarall() works well, but get_build_version() return the 10.0. There is no mistakes about this, for sys.version print (MSC v. 1600) vs. in latest Python 2.7 it's (MSC v. 1500) which means vc2008. All document I found pointed that Python Windows binary was built through VC 2008 (version 9.0), and there is only msvc9compiler.py module, no msvc10compiler.py module. 
I don't know whether this is a bug, or there is another compatible mechanics I don't know.
After all, I just want to build Pandas correctly.
