ValueError: Unknown MS Compiler version 1900

Question

I am trying to run some code with Python 3.5 on Windows 10 with the use of cygwin (mingw). To be precise I am using the PyDSTool module, where I call the dopri integrator. T

Answer 1

I made the following changes and it worked for me with the following configurations.

• OS : Win 7 Prof. SP1 64 bit
• CPython 3.6 , 64 Bit
• Mingw 64 (x86_64-7.1.0-posix-seh-rt_v5-rev0)
• Cython 0.25.2

I did the following

1. Add mingw in the PATH variable (C:\mingw-w64\x86_64-7.1.0-posix-seh-rt_v5-rev0\mingw64\bin for me)
2. Test by opening command line and command gcc works ( I have no other compilers)
3. Create distutils.cfg in C:\Python36\Lib\distutils

4. Add lines in that file:

   [build]
   compiler = mingw32
   

5. Manually applying this patch

6. Manually downloading the file vcruntime140.dll and putting it in C:\Python36\libs
