compiling with python 3.4 and icc

I am trying to compile numpy with mkl, icc and ifort. My method currently works with python2.7, but not python3.4. I currently get the error: RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

I am selectively following directions from

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/numpyscipy-with-intel-mkl

I have cloned the git repository, and added the following lines to my site.cfg

[mkl]                                                                           
library_dirs = /opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016/linux/mkl/lib/intel64    
include_dirs = /opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016/linux/mkl/include        
mkl_libs = mkl_rt                                                               
lapack_libs =    

I install on python 2.7 with the code

$ python2.7 setup.py config --compiler=intel build_clib --compiler=intel build_ext --compiler=intel install --user

installing on python 3.4 raises the following error

bash-4.2$ python3.4 setup.py config --compiler=intel build_clib --compiler=intel build_ext --compiler=intel install --user Running from numpy source directory.

Closing. The problem seems to be in distutils while calling _fix_lib_args, for a particular setup (icc, mkl, icfort) of closed-source tools. If it reproduces please reopen and engage in finding a solution. Perhaps the Intel people know about this and can help solve it.
