[python-win32] Building pywin32 on Vista 64

[Marc-André Belzile]

Looks like MSVCCompiler hasn't been fixed yet to support AMD64 architectures. __root is referenced by get_msvc_paths but wasn't set in __init__.
 
Known bug ?
 
My current settings:
 
self.__product -> Microsoft SDK compiler 14.0
self.__version -> 8.0
self.__arch -> AMD64
 
class MSVCCompiler (CCompiler) :
...
    def __init__ (self, verbose=0, dry_run=0, force=0):
        CCompiler.__init__ (self, verbose, dry_run, force)
        self.__version = get_build_version()
        self.__arch = get_build_architecture()
        if self.__arch == "Intel":
            # x86
            if self.__version >= 7:
                self.__root = r"Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio"
                self.__macros = MacroExpander(self.__version)
            else:
                self.__root = r"Software\Microsoft\Devstudio"
            self.__product = "Visual Studio version %s" % self.__version
        else:
            # Win64. Assume this was built with the platform SDK
            self.__product = "Microsoft SDK compiler %s" % (self.__version + 6)

    def get_msvc_paths(self, path, platform='x86'):
        """Get a list of devstudio directories (include, lib or path).
 
        Return a list of strings.  The list will be empty if unable to
        access the registry or appropriate registry keys not found.
        """
 
        if not _can_read_reg:
            return []
 
        path = path + " dirs"
        if self.__version >= 7:
            key = (r"%s\%0.1f\VC\VC_OBJECTS_PLATFORM_INFO\Win32\Directories"
                   % (self.__root, self.__version))                   << line 616

Hello,
 
I'm trying to build pywin32 (2.5.210.0) on Vista 64 (AMD64) with VS 2005.
 
I'm stucked right at the beginning of the process with this error :
 
File "C:\Python25\lib\distutils\msvccompiler.py", line 616, in get_msvc_paths % (self.__root, self.__version))
AttributeError: my_compiler instance has no attribute '_MSVCCompiler__root'
 
I did install the windows server 2003 platform SDK (AMD64) and set both DISTUTILS_USE_SDK +  MSSdk as advertised. Still no succcess.
 
Any ideas what could go wrong ? 
 
Thank you
