[issue13892] distutils handling of windows manifest isn't optimal

[Jack Jansen]

Jack Jansen <jackjansen at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

Indeed, my situation is different from the cscript.exe situation because in my case Python needs to call back into the hosting application.

Further experiments have shown that this is indeed the problem, and moreover that this is a problem that cannot be solved (at least, I am not smart enough to solve it:-). The Python extension module that does the callbacks would have to live in two different runtime worlds: if it allocates python objects it would have to use the VS2008 runtime, if it allocates Ambulant objects it would  have to use 2010 runtime.

This makes the whole original topic of this bug report of academic interest only. Fell free to close/won't fix.
