一篇转帖，为以后碰到error: Python was built with Visual Studio 2003; 这种恶心问题找个棒槌

( 转帖)如果你有陈旧的vs2003编译器，那么这篇短文或者意义不是很大， 
http://blog.donews.com/tekjian/archive/2006/08/06/990279.aspx 有简单的介绍如何直接安装这个玩意儿。 
但是，现在很多人都用上了vs2005或者vs2008，可是python还是用的2.5.x版。这个时候痛苦就来了， 
下载完python-sybase-0.38之后，如果你执行： 
python setup.py intall, 
肯定会出这样的错：

error: Python was built with Visual Studio 2003; 
extensions must be built with a compiler than can generate compatible binaries. 
Visual Studio 2003 was not found on this system. If you have Cygwin installed, 
you can try compiling with MingW32, by passing "-c mingw32" to setup.py.


经过若干周折，发现，有办法绕过去，让vs2008直接支持编译安装。 
先让sybase.bat环境变量生效，接着让vcvars.bat生效，(即执行这两个 bat) 

把ASE15.x\OCS-150\lib下的三个文件libsyb*.lib,重命名为lib*.lib, 这三个新文件是：libct.lib, libcs.lib, libblk.lib 

然后要修改python\Lib\distutils\msvccomiler.py, 找到： 
Java代码  
# x86  
if self.__version >= 7:  
  self.__root = r"Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio"  
  self.__macros = MacroExpander(self.__version)  
else:  
  self.__root = r"Software\Microsoft\Devstudio"  

  # x86
  if self.__version >= 7:
  self.__root = r"Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio"
  self.__macros = MacroExpander(self.__version)
  else:
  self.__root = r"Software\Microsoft\Devstudio"
注释掉这一行：self.__macros = MacroExpander(self.__version) 

之后，把对应的pyc文件删掉，让它强制重新编译。 

设置两个环境变量：set DISTUTILS_USE_SDK=1 
set MSSdk=1 

这之后执行python setup.py install, 就可以完全成功的安装了。
