Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

Question

I am working with python 2.7.3 and I am trying to install Python Kerberos. But it is giving me the following error:

error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

The entire traceback is as follows:

setup.py install
running install
running build
running build_ext
building 'kerberos' extension
error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

I want to know if there is any way of resolving the error without installing Visual Studio. It would be great if someone will be able to help resolve these errors.

I want to know if there is any alternate way to resolve the error. — Nelson Menezes, Sep 06 '13 at 11:39

You need to install Visual Studio (2008), Python is looking for a compiler you don't have.

See this question: error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

Note: If you were curious, vcvarsall.bat is a shell script that updates your environment to let you compile with Visual Studio.

Is there a way to bypass the entire process and install python MYSQL without installing Visual Studio? – Nelson Menezes Sep 06 '13 at 11:32
