[Numpy-discussion] msvc9 comipiler problems

[Charles R Harris]

Hi All,

There is a compilation problem <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/6428>with
1.10.0 on 32 bit windows using the msvc9 compiler. One possible solution to
this is to drop support for python 2.6. The last, and final, release of of
that series was Python 2.6.9 in Oct 2013. The first release was in 2008.

Thoughts?

doesn't the problem also affect python2.7? I don't recall which msvc is
required for that but I though it was v9.

If its only the compiler needed for python2.6 thats affected then +1, we
already dropped binary support for that in numpy 1.9.

NVM. Looks like Python 2.7 also uses msvc9.

yup, according to Wikipedia:

*Visual C++ 2008* (known also as Visual C++ 9.0)

so py2.7

Are you testing with the "MS Visual C++ compiler for Python 2.7" here:

I think the only difference is how.where it is installed, but you never
know...

The error occurs also for Python-2.7 win32. I tested
numpy-1.10.0+mkl-cp27-none-win32.whl some days ago and reported to C.
Gohlke.
