In this file: http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/distutils/msvc9compiler.py?rev=62636&view=auto Notice the line containing: os.environ['include'] = vc_env['include'] This causes the process environment variables to acquire the value returned by vcvars.bat. Since vcvars.bat appends it's values to the environment variable, it grows each time called. Note that the submitted patch does make this problem go away. A better patch could combine the two functions or and treat them consistently.
