用python SWIG安装quantlib

Question

hi i am trying to install quantlib for python with SWIG bindings, and I get the following error. I am on Windows 7, have Python 2.7 64 bit and built quantlib 1.5 with MS Visual Studio Express 2008 where I had performed all the steps outlined in https://jenshuebel.wordpress.com/2009/02/12/visual-c-2008-express-edition-and-64-bit-targets/ to compile 64 bit code:

running build
running build_py
copying QuantLib\QuantLib.py -> build\lib.win-amd64-2.7\QuantLib
running build_ext
building 'QuantLib._QuantLib' extension

Seems you want to build a version for 32-Bit Python but you have active the 64_Bit Toolchain of Visual Studio.

The solution might be to enable the Visual Studio 32-Bit Toolchain before starting the build of the quantlib python library.

Have a look on the appropriate documentation on the msdn pages:

Can not test it myself because i have no visual studio 2008 installed. But i have had the same problem with VS2015 when i tried to build for 64-Bit python with the 32-bit toolchain.
