I have been doing some experiments with different modules for the timing of 
functions and code segments. One module I would like to test is yappi (thread 
aware timer) which is listed at PyPI. However, I have been unable to install it 
on Windows Vista and Windows 7 (Python 2.7 on both). I have tried both 
easy_install and pip (as suggested at http://code.google.com/p/yappi/). Here is 
what happens with easy_install

error: Setup script exited with error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

And pip fails with similar problems (same pyconfig errors where C++ header files 
are not found). In both cases yappi-0.62.tar.gz was downloaded.Note: 1) I also 
tried to install from the source which also failed with similar problems, 2) I 
have both cygwin and MinGW gcc compilers on my systems and they do contain in 
their include folder these "missing" header files.

Any suggestions on how yappi can be installed would be appreciated.
