Message 87662 - Python tracker
Sorry about that, I was travelling and didn't see that the buildbots turned red. (I ran the test but didn't build python again) I have changed that because build_ext.compiler is a string option, e.g. the compiler type. Turning it into a compiler instance when the command is run twice it breaks because it is used as a string argument to create a compiler. Maybe a solution would be to rename the option name into "compiler_type" and keep build_ext.compiler as a compiler instance.
