[New-bugs-announce] [issue25646] Distutils and Windows SDK 7.0 / Windows SDK 7.1 / Visual C++ Build Tools 2015

[JGoutin]

New submission from JGoutin:

Hello,

This issue is related to Visual C++ standalone distributions (Without any Visual Studio version installed).

Distutils don't properly detect theses compilers. It try to work with "vcvarsall.bat" but this file : 
- is missing with Visual C++ Build Tools 2015.
- don't set correctly the environment with Windows SDK 7.0/7.1

I fixed this issue by modifying "vcvarsall.bat" for redirect to the goods files and set properly the environment. The procedure is detailed here : https://wiki.python.org/moin/WindowsCompilers

I have tested this issue with :
- Python 3.5 + Visual C++ Tools 2015
- Python 3.4 + Windows SDK 7.1
I have not tested yet (But it work exactly as SDK 7.1): 
- Python 2.7 + Windows SDK 7.0


I can eventually work to fix this directly on distutils (Or help to fix it).
