[New-bugs-announce] [issue44602] Issue with get_build_version in msvc9compiler.py in distutils

[Rajesh]

New submission from Rajesh <mailkalyan23 at gmail.com>:

get_build_version method in msvc9compiler.py file in distutils folder is returning MSVC version as "14.2" for Python 3.9.

14.2 is the build version for Visual Studio 2015, but Visual studio 2015 wont work on Windows 10 as per the below link 

https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/support/vs2015/visual-studio-2015-system-requirements/

So, Python 3.9 wont work on Windows 10?

I am trying to install wxPython 4.0.7 using "pip install wxPython==4.0.7" but facing error to find the visual studio in Windows 10 using Python 3
