[New-bugs-announce] [issue6338] Error message displayed on stderr when no C compiler is present with ctypes

[Eric Huss]

New submission from Eric Huss <eric at huss.org>:

Importing the "uuid" module on a posix system (FreeBSD in my case) that
does not have a C compiler causes "cc: not found" to be sent to stderr.
 This is because it imports ctypes and calls ctypes.util.find_library
which attempts to determine if the C compiler is called "gcc" or "cc"
using a shell command.
