The new msvc9compiler module supports VS 2005 and VS 2008. I've also fixed build_ext to support PCbuild8 and PCbuild9 and backported my fix for xxmodule.c from py3k. The old code msvccompiler is still in place in case somebody likes to build an extension with VS 2003 or earlier.
I've also updated the cygwin compiler module for VS 2005 and VS 2008. It works with VS 2005 but I'm unable to test it with VS 2008. We have to wait for a new version of cygwin.
As discussed on distutils-sig: Allows the generated installer name on
64bit Windows platforms to be different than the name generated for
32bit Windows platforms.
even if package_dir is empty.
This needs to be backported. I'm too tired tonight. It would be great
if someone backports this if the buildbots are ok with it. Otherwise,
I will try to get to it tomorrow.
Patch from Mark Hammond:
bdist_wininst attempts to use the correct MSVC runtime for the current
version of Python. This doesn't work correctly when --target-version
is set. In that case, bdist_wininst still uses the *current*
sys.version (ie, 2.4) rather than the version specified as
--target-version. Thus, the msvc7 runtime based executable stub is
*always* used.
This patch "hard-codes" knowledge of earlier Python versions,
providing the correct result when Python 2.4 is used to build Python
2.3 and earlier distributions.
Remove the short variant (-v) of the --target-version command line
options, it conflicts with the --verbose/-v standard distutils switch.
This is basically the support for package data from Phillip Eby's
setuptools package. I've changed it only to fit it into the core
implementation rather than to live in subclasses, and added
documentation.
requires and provides. requires is a sequence of strings, of the
form 'packagename-version'. The dependency checking so far merely
does an '__import__(packagename)' and checks for packagename.__version__
You can also leave off the version, and any version of the package
will be installed.
There's a special case for the package 'python' - sys.version_info
is used, so
requires= ( 'python-2.3', )
just works.
Provides is of the same format as requires - but if it's not supplied,
a provides is generated by adding the version to each entry in packages,
or modules if packages isn't there.
Provides is currently only used in the PKG-INFO file. Shortly, PyPI
will grow the ability to accept these lines, and register will be
updated to send them.
There's a new command 'checkdep' command that runs these checks.
For this version, only greater-than-or-equal checking is done. We'll
add the ability to specify an optional operator later.

Windows installers can be build on non-Windows systems as long as they

Patch #892660 from Mark Hammond, for distutils bdist_wininst command.
install.c: support for a 'pre-install-script', run before anything has
been installed. Provides a 'message_box' module function for use by
either the pre-install or post-install scripts.
bdist_wininst.py: support for pre-install script. Typo (build->built),
fixes so that --target-version can still work, even when the
distribution has extension modules - in this case, we insist on
--skip-build, as we still can't actually build other versions.

Two new tests are needed:
Don't skip building an extension if any of the depends files are newer
than the target.
Pass ext.depends to compiler.compile() so that it can track individual
files.
This is a conservative version of SF patch 504889. It uses the log
module instead of calling print in various places, and it ignores the
verbose argument passed to many functions and set as an attribute on
some objects. Instead, it uses the verbosity set on the logger via
the command line.
The log module is now preferred over announce() and warn() methods
that exist only for backwards compatibility.
XXX This checkin changes a lot of modules that have no test suite and
aren't exercised by the Python build process. It will need
substantial testing.
