[12:51:21] <frewsxcv> https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1200

[12:51:57] <frewsxcv> rust is considering adding a 'cargo install' command. in case anyone has insight/comments, input is greatly appreciated

[12:53:07] <nedbat> turn back! it's too late for us, but there's still time to save yourself!! :)

[13:27:56] <ronny> nanonyme: ping? is there a reasonably simple howto to follow to get to a point where one can make windows wheels? i'd like to support the borgbackup project with the required win32 wheels

[13:28:05] <ronny> (it needs c exts)

[17:38:38] <nanonyme> ronny, if just doing "pip install wheel; python setup.py bdist_wheel" isn't enough, not sure

[17:38:51] <nanonyme> Or whatever the bdist name was

[17:39:26] <nanonyme> I've heard there's more elaborate tools for doing it but I've just been using wheels as setuptools result binary

[17:41:25] <nanonyme> ronny, oh, you mean your system can't create Windows binary packages? You'd need Microsoft Visual C compiler, probably the free MS compiler (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44266)

[17:42:06] <nanonyme> I guess with Python3.5 and higher you're a bit screwed because it won't work with that C compiler

[19:50:30] <ronny> nanonyme: i see, i'll slwoly work into it

[22:05:37] <[Tritium]> nanonyme: python3.5+ on windows is the EASY story for binaries on windows. use any version of VS Community with a version of 2015 or higher.

[22:06:37] <[Tritium]> VS 2015 will be rtm before 3.5 is, so says the microsoft employee on python-dev at least

[22:07:13] <[Tritium]> 3.3 and 3.4 need the free edition of 2010 which you can still get

[22:07:43] <[Tritium]> 3.2 uses 2008 like 2.6 and 2.7 do, but 3.2 is EOL
