I get an error when trying to use twisted installed using pip. I'm just using the example provided on the twisted homepage:

from twisted.web import server, resource
from twisted.internet import reactor

class HelloResource(resource.Resource):
    isLeaf = True
    numberRequests = 0

    def render_GET(self, request):
        self.numberRequests += 1
        request.setHeader("content-type", "text/plain")
        return "I am request #" + str(self.numberRequests) + "\n"

reactor.listenTCP(8080, server.Site(HelloResource()))
reactor.run()

The error I get is:

no module named twisted.internet

I'm not running in any virtual environment.

What's the output of pip while installing twisted? – schlamar Feb 01 '13 at 15:05
ha! you're probably on to something. it says "unable to find vcvarsall.bat" – Asken Feb 01 '13 at 15:07
OK, that's strange. Can you post the complete output, e.g. on http://gist.github.com – schlamar Feb 01 '13 at 15:08

Is this one of those cases where you have to run it in side a VS command prompt so that the environment is set. – sotapme Feb 01 '13 at 15:09
Does this help http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2817869/error-unable-to-find-vcvarsall-bat – sotapme Feb 01 '13 at 15:11
i tried that before but still no go – Asken Feb 01 '13 at 15:13
Why don't you use the [Windows installer](http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Downloads#Windows)? You need Visual Studio to compile twisted on your own. – schlamar Feb 01 '13 at 15:13
Or install Visual C++ Express 2008, it's free. You can get it from [here](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6506) (vcsetup.exe is the correct one). – schlamar Feb 01 '13 at 15:16
