[issue8107] test_distutils fails on Windows in 2.6.5rc2

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

The patch in its current form is incomplete: xxmodule.c won't end up on the target system, since msi.py doesn't package it. So that would need to be changed as well.

With the current release26-maint branch, test_distutils now passes, both with xxmodule.c present, and with it being absent. If it is present, test_distutils prints a number of additional output lines, starting with "Creating library ...".

I also agree that the change is too heavy for the 2.6 maintenance release.
