python2.7 windows wheels failed to build for 0.19.0

[asottile]

I'll have to figure out a way to fix that

Here's the error:

DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 will reach the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 won't be maintained after that date. A future version of pip will drop support for Python 2.7.

Can you use the root .gitignore to mask them out of the submodule cloning?

[asottile]

@nschonni 🤔 could you provide an example? I'm not sure I've heard of anything like that

[nschonni]

Was just thinking of adding the line libsass/test/e2e/unicode-pwd/ to https://github.com/sass/libsass-python/blob/master/.gitignore
Maybe i'm misunderstanding what is getting stuck, and it needs to be excluded from the python packaging setup instead

[nschonni]

Think libsass also had issues with this on windows, so maybe it is catching something it should https://github.com/sass/libsass/blob/master/appveyor.yml#L83

[asottile]

oh for sure, this is tickling a bug in python2.7 on windows -- unfortunately the bug isn't something I can patch because it's in the packaging / stdlib bits

I might workaround by just deleting that directory for the windows py27 builds
