  • Do you have Visual Studio installed? – wRAR Sep 05 '14 at 12:15
  • @wRAR I don't find that solving this issue by installing Visual Studio i.e around 900mb.. for small script... – crax Sep 05 '14 at 13:59
  • You need libraries which need other libraries which need to be compiled. So you need a compiler. – wRAR Sep 05 '14 at 14:59

Another way to get around the missing vcvarsall.bat is to install the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler for Python 2.7 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44266

when you get that error you might want to just find a Windows installer for it, it will include the missing file. http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/files/

here's an explanation of the error. http://slacy.com/blog/2010/09/python-unable-to-find-vcvarsall-bat/

  • I don't recall telling you to install VS. I stated you need to install the module from someone who has compiled and created an installer for Windows. The second link documents why the error, they resolve it by installing VS. –  Sep 10 '14 at 04:58

Try:

easy_install scrapy

This works for me without any error.
