Building minimal cython file with python 3.3 (Anaconda) under windows 7

Question

When I try to build a minimal Cython file test.pyx with Python 3.3 (Anaconda 3) under windows 7, I obtain a strange error:

C:\\Users\\myname\\Test_cython>         


        

Answer 1

The line 404 of the file cygwinccompiler.py of the package disutils

out_string = check_output(['gcc', '-dumpmachine'])

has to be changed as

out_string = check_output(['gcc', '-dumpmachine'], shell=True)

Then, it compiles normally.
