[egenix-users] error: mxDateTime.c: No such file or directory

[M.-A. Lemburg]

Hi Oleg,

we have not made any changes on our side, so perhaps something is
failing in AppVeyor. What I notice in the logs you sent is that
AppVeyor is now trying to build wheel files from the PyPI packages.

"""
Building wheels for collected packages: egenix-mx-base, mysql-connector,
FormEncode, PyDispatcher
"""

This only works with the source files available, but our installer
sees that it can reuse an existing binary package on Windows and
uses this instead of getting the source files.

I suppose this is what's causing the problem.

Unfortunately, I don't have an easy fix for this and no time to look
into it on a larger scale.

The only workaround I have for you is to point tox directly at our
PyPI style index and have it download the source package instead
of the installer from PyPI:

https://downloads.egenix.com/python/index/ucs4/

Thanks,
