This question has been asked a couple of times and I spend at least five hours trying to incorporate suggestions in those posts [but was mostly unsuccessful.
I installed Canopy Enthought python on my windows and now I want to install Levenshtein package available at https://code.google.com/p/pylevenshtein/.
I extracted and tried to run using usual python command but got the following error.
(Canopy 64bit) C:\Users\mary\Desktop>cd python-Levenshtein-0.11.2

I followed these posts but remained unsuccessful in solving this issue: Errors while building/installing C module for Python 2.7 http://springflex.blogspot.com/2014/02/how-to-fix-valueerror-when-trying-to.html
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
