Message175393
I'm submitting this patch as it was suggested I do so by Antoine Pitrou on #python-dev. As such, it's more a point of discussion than a patch I'm trying to get merged (for one thing, my build is a MinGW GCC compiled and I've not considered the MSVC Windows build).
I ran into a problem with a customisation I made to cygwinccompiler.py where I wanted to use Popen to ask gcc where it's ld is:
out = Popen(gcc+' --print-prog-name ld', shell=True, stdout=PIPE).stdout
This has worked fine before on 2.7.3, but with 3.3.0, subprocess can't be imported as _winapi isn't builtin, instead, it's built by setup.py as a module.
So is this the right thing to do? Or is distutils not supposed to use subprocess during bootstrapping? |
