Python module for locating Visual Studio

Project description

pyfindvs

Python client library for locating Visual Studio 2017.

Usage

The basic functions are findall, findwithall and findwithany.

Calling findall will return a (potentially cached) list of currently installed copies of Visual Studio 2017. Each list item is a VisualStudioInstance object with attributes for name, version, version_info (numeric parts of version as a tuple), path and packages (a set of the installed components).

Calling findwithall or findwithany will only return instances of Visual Studio where all/any of the specified package names are installed.

For example:

>>> pyfindvs.findall()
[<VisualStudioInstance at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community>,
 <VisualStudioInstance at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools>]

>>> pyfindvs.findwithall('Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Tools.x86.x64',
                         'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows10SDK.10586')
[<VisualStudioInstance at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools>]

>>> pyfindvs.findwithany('Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Tools.x86.x64',
                         'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows10SDK.10586')
[<VisualStudioInstance at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community>,
 <VisualStudioInstance at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools>]
