pyximport, ImportError: Building module failed

[remip]

Hi,

I'm using cython successfully with setup.py --build_ext=mingw32 for
some modules, but I can't use pyximport :

ImportError: Building module failed: ['DistutilsPlatformError: Unable
to find vcvarsall.bat\n']

pyximport doesn't seems to read my distutils.cfg which points on
mingw32


trace:

my env :

Windows 7 64bits
python 2.6.5 32bits
mingw 32bits gcc 3.4.5, bin dir in the path
cython 0.12.1

c:\Python26\lib\\distutils\distutils.cfg
[build]
compiler = mingw32




I've put some print, my cfg file is found by dist.find_config_files in
pyxbuild.py
['c:\\Python26\\lib\\distutils\\distutils.cfg']

Am I missing something ?

Regards,

I solved the problem with this distutils.cfg :

[build]
compiler = mingw32


[build_ext]
compiler = mingw32


May be someone should update the 'InstallingOnWindows' wiki page.
