[issue23246] distutils fails to locate vcvarsall with Visual C++ Compiler for Python

[Michael Clerx]

Michael Clerx added the comment:

Thanks! However, importing setuptools causes a string of errors about PYTHONPATH and .pth files (even on a linux system)

In addition, a monkeypatched version of find_vcvarsall allowed things to run, but it seems finding plain C libraries with Visual C++ for python is very different from finding libraries in mingw

I think I'll just start telling my windows users to install MinGW instead
