[New-bugs-announce] [issue23461] Building on windows modifies importlib.h

[Paul Moore]

New submission from Paul Moore:

When building Python (cpython repository, tip revision on the default branch) using Visual Studio 2015 (version downloaded 12/02/2015) I get a message in the build:

C:\Work\Projects\cpython\PCbuild\_freeze_importlib.vcxproj(98,5): error : importlib.h has been updated. You will need to rebuild  pythoncore to see the changes.

This is using the command "PCBuild\build.bat -p x64".

When I check hg status after the build, Python\importlib.h shows as modified.

(I have 2 changed files in the repo, one a documentation file and the other launcher.c. Neither change should affect importlib).
