"Microsoft Compilers for Python 2.7" is no longer available #890

Closed LexiconCode closed 3 years ago

LexiconCode commented 3 years ago

Microsoft has removed the following Microsoft Compilers for Python 2.7 as it is no longer supported. It is no longer available to download officially from Microsoft nor is it available through Chocolatey see. regex cannot compile error: Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 is required. Get it from http://aka.ms/vcpython27 This breaks the user install experience and unit tests under Python 2.7.x.

This only really affects DNS/DPI as they are required to use Python 32-bit 2.7.x due to its dependence on Natlink.

Workaround is to use the precompiled packagepip install https://download.lfd.uci.edu/pythonlibs/w4tscw6k/cp27/regex-2020.1.8-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl found at https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#regex
