[New-bugs-announce] [issue34225] distutils._msvccompiler should trim INCLUDE/LIB directories

[Steve Dower]

New submission from Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org>:

_msvccompiler reads the INCLUDE and LIB environment variables when building and adds each directory to the command line. However, if any of these end with os.sep (specifically, '\'), then it will escape the quoting and break the entire command.

We should rstrip(os.sep) on each item from this list.
