[issue4431] Distutils MSVC doesn't create manifest file (with fix)

Sébastien Sablé <sable at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

I encountered the same problem while compiling the psutil package.

I used Python 3.2.2 that I compiled myself using Visual Studio 2010 SP1 in Debug mode by following the PCBuild/readme.txt documentation.

I could not compile psutil until I added in setup.py:
extra_link_args=['/MANIFEST']

I have not tried to compile any other C extension yet, but this is not mysql-python and I am not using setuptools either.
