[python-committers] AppVeyor builds broken

[Antoine Pitrou]

Hello,

It seems AppVevor builds (and generally Windows builds) have been broken
for some time with a failure in test_distutils:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/python/cpython/build/3.7.0a0.9471#L2040

======================================================================
ERROR: test_get_exe_bytes (distutils.tests.test_bdist_wininst.BuildWinInstTestCase)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\projects\cpython\lib\distutils\tests\test_bdist_wininst.py", line 24, in test_get_exe_bytes
    exe_file = cmd.get_exe_bytes()
  File "C:\projects\cpython\lib\distutils\command\bdist_wininst.py", line 361, in get_exe_bytes
    f = open(filename, "rb")
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\projects\\cpython\\lib\\distutils\\command\\wininst-14.12.exe'
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Antoine.
