takes some of the typing out of compiling a Python27 exe using Cython. Expects that you've got https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44266 installed

cython_compile.py

import os
import sys
import subprocess

PYHOME = os.environ.get("PY27", "C:\\ul\\tools\\python\\python27\\")
PYLIB = PYHOME + "libs"
PYINC = PYHOME + "include"
subprocess.call(("cython", sys.argv[-1], "--embed" ))

scriptfile = sys.argv[-1].replace(".pyx", ".py").replace(".py", ".c")
 
args = "cl.exe", "/I", PYINC, scriptfile
os.environ["LINK"] = "/LIBPATH:"+PYLIB
print args
subprocess.call(args)
