[Scons-users] Is the warning about missing pywin32 extensions on parallel builds still needed?

[Richard Viney]

Hi all,

When running parallel builds under SCons 2.3.6 and Python 2.7.10 on Windows you get the following warning if the pywin32 extensions aren’t installed:

scons: warning: you do not seem to have the pywin32 extensions installed;
        parallel (-j) builds may not work reliably with open Python files.

This was discussed back in 2008 here: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.tools.scons.user/17858

It seems that there were ancient Python versions with threading bugs and the pywin32 extensions were needed to work around these issues.

I’m curious whether this still applies given that Python >= 2.6 is now required? Is this warning still relevant and is pywin32 needed?

Thanks,
Richard
