Clarify what is being done with my environment #5
Comments
It doesn't change the machine environment at all. it only changes the environment for the python process running the script. The changes do not persist after the process exits. You can see exactly what is going on if you run the init file as a script. It will spit out everything it finds and what it would add/change to the environment, |
Normally if you want to compile a visual studio project from a command prompt you either have to open a build environment command prompt from inside of visual studio or you have to run one of the vcvars batch files. It does the same thing that doing either one of those things does. It just adds a bunch of environment variables to define where the various needed parts of msvc are located and any other build tools needed. The variables do not persist after the python process has exited so nothing is made permanently. |
so here is an example of what it does. This is the original environment before the script is run I have started out sensitive pieces
and here is the new environment
and this is what it has added
