[New-bugs-announce] [issue28706] msvc9compiler does not find a vcvarsall.bat of Visual C++ for Python 9.0

[Jiří Hofman]

New submission from Jiří Hofman:

When running
"c:\Program Files\Python27\Scripts\pip2.7.exe" install wx
following error occurs:

    Complete output from command "c:\program files\python27\python.exe" -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='c:\\users\\jiri\\appdata\\local\\temp\\pip-build-lqokio\\wx\\setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" install --record c:\users\jiri\appdata\local\temp\pip-51m45m-record\install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile:

    WARNING: Building this way assumes that all generated files have been
    generated already.  If that is not the case then use build.py directly
    to generate the source and perform the build stage.  You can use
    --skip-build with the bdist_* or install commands to avoid this
    message and the wxWidgets and Phoenix build steps in the future.

I found out that the problem is in msvc9compiler. The dir where vcvarsall.bat is installed is not found. It is installed (by default) in C:\Users\Jiri\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual C++ for Python\9.0
Needed registry keys do not exist after installation of the Visual C++ for Python 9.0.

My OS is Windows 10 Home (64bit).
