Python 2.7.10 upgrade broke install of some python packages
Build: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/docker/compose/
It was working until Nov 3rd:
Last successful build: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/docker/compose/build/master-384
First failed build: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/docker/compose/build/master-385
Since the first failure no builds have passed (none have touched
anything related to the dependencies).
The only difference seems to be the python --version
is now reporting 2.7.10.
The error occurs when trying to install pyyaml using pip:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/docker/compose/build/master-385#L716
File "c:\python27-x64\Lib\distutils\msvc9compiler.py", line 299, in query_vcvarsall
raise ValueError(str(list(result.keys())))
ValueError: [u'path']
According to http://help.appveyor.com/discussions/suggestions/652-add-microsoft-... this same error was fixed months ago https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues/240.
Maybe that fix was missed when Python 2.7.10 became the default version of python?
I tried using C:\Python279-x64 or
C:\Python27.9-x64 for the path, but those don't seem
to work
It looks like http://www.appveyor.com/docs/installed-software#python is also out of date (still says python 2.7.9).
