[New-bugs-announce] [issue25251] Unknown MS Compiler version 1900

[Matt Hickford]

New submission from Matt Hickford:

Hi distutils. I previously used compiler=mingw32 with success. Today I installed Visual Studio 2015. Now compiler=mingw32 gives me an error

File "c:\python35\lib\distutils\cygwinccompiler.py", line 86, in get_msvcr
    raise ValueError("Unknown MS Compiler version %s " % msc_ver)
ValueError: Unknown MS Compiler version 1900

Any ideas? I don't understand why what msvc I have installed affects build with mingw32
