The Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7 is available from: http://= aka.ms/vcpython27 This package contains all the tools and headers required to build C extensi= on modules for Python 2.7 32-bit and 64-bit (note that some extension modul= es require 3rd party dependencies such as OpenSSL or libxml2 that are not i= ncluded). Other versions of Python built with Visual C++ 2008 are also supp= orted. You can install the package without requiring administrative privileges and= , with the latest version of setuptools, use tools such as pip, wheel, or a= setup.py file to produce binaries on Windows. (Note: This version of Visual C++ is no longer supported by Microsoft, and = so new features, support, or bug fixes are not available.)
