'easy_install -U cython' fails complaining about vcvarsall.bat and -mno-cygwin
After more some googling, I found guidance that recommended removing -mno-cygwin
from C:\Python27\Lib\distutils\cygwinccompiler.py
because of a distutils bug.
Removing -mno-cygwin
from C:\Python27\Lib\distutils\cygwinccompiler.py
got cython
to compile.
