[issue20788] distutils.msvccompiler - flags are hidden inside initialize()

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo added the comment:

It may be a good idea to make this information directly available in the sysconfig module, for example.  Before working on a patch right away, I’d recommend getting in touch with build tools developers and ask them what other hidden information they are extracting from distutils internals, so that a clean, comprehensive proposal can be made for Python 3.5 (as a new feature, this cannot go into existing stable versions).
