python, vs 2010 & manifest problem

 

   It looks like python community doesn't intend to "fix" this problem due to it is probably not a bug.

 

a quick work around is 

 

open /distutils/msvc9compiler.py

 

find def manifest_setup_ldargs(self, output_filename, build_temp, ld_args)

 

add

 

ld_args.append('/MANIFEST')

 

right beneath ld_args.append('/MANIFESTFILE:' + temp_manifest)

 

it will fix a link error.
