Update your MSVC version (Python)

For some reason Monkey2 can't autodetect my MSVC version so I had to update it manually.

But this time I just got bored and tried to write this script.

If you use MSVC to compile your code, place this python file right aside your env_windows.txt, it will update the versions.



import os



def updatemsvc():



##

msvcdir = 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2019\\Community\\VC'

windowskitsdir = 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Kits\\10'

try:

if not os.path.exists(msvcdir): Exception('MSVC directory could not be found')

if not os.path.exists(windowskitsdir): Exception('Windows Kits directory could not be found')

except e:

print(e)



##

msvcversion = ''

msvctoolsdir = os.path.join(msvcdir, 'Tools\\MSVC')

try:

versions = os.listdir(msvctoolsdir)

msvcversion = versions[-1]

msvctoolsdir = os.path.join(msvctoolsdir, msvcversion)

except:

print('could not get MSVC version')

return



##

try:

envfile = open('env_windows.txt')

lines = envfile.readlines()

envfile.close()

except:

print('could not open env_windows.txt')

print('place this script into the same directory')

return



##

kitversion = ''

try:

kitdirs = os.listdir(os.path.join(windowskitsdir, 'Lib'))

kitversion = kitdirs[-1]

if len(kitversion) == 0: Exception()

except:

print('could not get latest `Windows Kits` version')

print('make sure that the file paths are correct')

return



##

for i in range(len(lines)):



if lines[i].startswith('MX2_USE_MSVC='):

lines[i] = 'MX2_USE_MSVC=1'



elif lines[i].startswith('MX2_ARCH_WINDOWS='):

lines[i] = 'MX2_ARCH_WINDOWS=x64'



elif lines[i].startswith('MX2_MSVC_TOOLS_DIR='):

path = msvctoolsdir.split('Tools\\MSVC\\')

lines[i] = 'MX2_MSVC_TOOLS_DIR=${MX2_MSVC_DIR}\\Tools\\MSVC\\' + path[1]



elif lines[i].startswith('MX2_WINDOWS_KIT='):

lines[i] = 'MX2_WINDOWS_KIT=' + kitversion

break



if len(lines[i]) == 0: # fix to retain blank lines

lines[i] += '\n'



##

import time

os.rename('env_windows.txt', 'env_windows'+str(time.time())+'.txt')

outfile = open('env_windows.txt', 'w')

outfile.writelines(lines)

outfile.close()



##

print(f'updated to MSVC:{msvcversion} KIT:{kitversion}')
