[New-bugs-announce] [issue40530] distutils/cygwinccompiler.py doesn't support recent msvc versions

[Vadim Godunko]

New submission from Vadim Godunko <godunko at adacore.com>:

Prebuild Python 3.7 package can't be used with GObjectIntrospection library on Windows due to miss of support of used MSVC compiler by distutils/cygwinccompiler.py module.

sys.version returns:

3.7.6 (tags/v3.7.6:43364a7ae0, Dec 19 2019, 00:42:30) [MSC v.1916 64 bit 
(AMD64)]

so, compiler version is detected as 1916, while get_msvcr() function supports only versions up to '1600'.
