[New-bugs-announce] [issue21923] distutils.sysconfig.customize_compiler will try to read variable that has not been initialized

[Alex Gaynor]

New submission from Alex Gaynor:

If one invokes some distutils code too early, this function will try to read ``_config_vars`` before it is initialized. http://bpaste.net/show/1DOGhL8sdnkPyLTL06AZ/ is an example traceback that results.

The attached patch uses the public API which guarantees that it is defined.
