First of all, thank you for py-bcrypt. Thanks to your hard work and generosity, the tiny sliver of the internet that I manage is a more secure place.
Now for the request (sigh, you knew it was coming): at my day job, I have to develop on Windows and it's not feasible to install Visual Studio 2008 Express on my web server. Is there any other practical way to get py-bcrypt running in that environment?
- sp332 15y agoMaybe you could install just the VS 2008 runtime libraries? http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=a5c84275-3b97-4ab7-a40d-3802b2af5fc2&displaylang=en http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=...
- RyanMcGreal 15y agoThanks for the suggestion. I tried this, but the install script still returns the same error: "Unable to find vcvarsall.bat".
- sp332 15y agoHm, that's actually a compiler error. If you can't get the VS compiler installed easily I think http://blog.eddsn.com/2010/05/unable-to-find-vcvarsall-bat/ http://blog.eddsn.com/2010/05/unable-to-find-vcvarsall-bat/ is your best bet.
- djmdjm 15y agoI'd like to help, but I have no idea how to build Python modules for Windows any more. I once figured it out by following some guide that was linked to from python.org, but that broke when more recent versions of Python required more recent compilers. If you can create a build environment on your workstation, IIRC there is a bdist_win (or similar) setup.py target that will build a .msi package that you can load on your webserver. That's about the limit of my Windows Python knowledge right there :|
