Message228913
In the C code of Python 3.5, there are still preprocessor commands checking for defines:
- __BORLANDC__: Borland C compiler
- __WATCOMC__: Watcom C compiler
- __DJGPP__: MS-DOS port of GCC
In 2014, it's time to drop this old code. OS/2 support was already removed in Python 3.4 (see the PEP 11).
I'm quite sure that Python 3.5 cannot be compiled on MS-DOS and/or will not work on MS-DOS. I don't think that anyone tried Python 3 on MS-DOS. The MS-DOS support was simply inherited from Python 2, Python 3 source code is based on Python 2.
I don't want to drop support of custom compilers, only removing code specific to MS-DOS, see:
