Some fixes

2016-06-14T18:01:41+00:00

- Fix issue #593
- Fix some forgotten "vcver" => "vc_ver" renames in previous commit.
- Add comment on why I didn't followed PEP8 for some variables names.

Use underscore to separate words (or acronyms) for clarity (vc_ver).

Add missing C for consistency.

Remove extra redundant work. Patch the module so behavior is the same on Unix systems even if not invoked. Tests still pass on Linux due to import protections.

Tests and fixes

Tests advancement:

I tested WinSDK 7.1, WinSDK 7.0, WinSDK 6.1, VC for Python 2.7 with current arch as X86 and all possible target architecture. Environment generated from script is good for all (With some little fixes in this commit), some path are add on some case, I will look if I need to remove them. I need also to check .Net Framework 64bit in this case.

I need also to do test for sames compilers on X64 architecture, I will also test MSVC++ 2015 Build tools on X64.

I looked for create automated test on AppVeyor for this, but it is impossible to only have one of theses compilers only installed... So I did all test manually.
