Error while installing python-snappy

Question

I'm basically trying to install a package that requires snappy compiled in c for speed. I have already downloaded and installed the required compiler from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=44266.

I can't figure out why it's not able to get stdint.h. It should come with the compiler right?

Any tips would be appreciated.

I copied the stdint.h into the include folder but it gives the same error. What gives? – Raza Jamil Jun 29 '16 at 10:37
Did you copied stdint.h to: **C:\Users\Raza\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual C++ for Python\9.0\VC\include** ? – Jose Maeso Jun 29 '16 at 10:47
Ah that did the trick. I copied it in ProgramFiles/... Many thanks! – Raza Jamil Jun 29 '16 at 10:51
