Advice from a long time Python Windows user that's aimed at everybody, 
not just the OP.  Always try and find a binary installer, it's far 
easier than messing about with ".zip" or ".tar.gz" files.  In particular 
it avoids the infamous "error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat", which in 
plain English means you've not got Visual C++ installed or you've got 
the wrong version.

A very good site to find binaries is this 
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/.  You can safely ignore the 
"Unofficial" at the top of the page, I've been using stuff from there 
for years and never, ever had a problem.
