The distutils interface isn't documented in all details,
so the rule of thumb by which everybody operates is that any
non-private symbol is part of the public API.
FWIW: I don't see a problem with keeping implementations
around for older MS VC versions. It's well possible that
someone might want to use them for creating a Python version
compiled with an older version of MS VC, e.g. in an
embedding scenario. And you can still have your new cleaned up
version override the default msvccompiler class. |
