I'm currently running Python 3.5.1 on Windows 10 and I'm having trouble installing the lxml module as I get the error message unable to find vcvarsall.bat, when using pip install lxml and easy_install lxml.

After browsing this forum I've seen that I need a visual studio compiler so I've downloaded both 2008 and 2015 and found that the 'vcvarsall.bat' file is in the following location: ....AppData\Local\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual C++ for Python\9.0, how can i now point python to this location? Or am I missing something really fundamental here?

Thanks for your help.

  • I did read through that @DavidZemens , however I couldn't see any relevant support for Python 3.5.1. Have you seen something I missed? – Tom Pinder Jan 13 '16 at 21:23
  • I probably have not, but I have only suggested this as *possible* duplicate. the vcvarsall.bat problem happens in different modules and different version of python. On that same thread, [This](http://stackoverflow.com/a/18045219/1467082) answer mentions some quirks with python 3.x though and specifically that you probably can't use Visual Studio 2008. – David Zemens Jan 13 '16 at 21:28
