Distutils does not play well with MS Compiler tool chain.

This file is required to setup the environment which will help distutils to use MS compiler tool chains.

There are quite a few ways in which this has been made to work.

Please look at the following post which may help you.

    I wish I could up-vote this more than once. I've been having issues with compiling the neo4j.py package on Windows and this is the only suggestion that has helped. I've tried MinGW after running into the vcvarsall.bat issue but went back to Visual Studio after running into some compiler flag issues. Thanks! – Steve Kalemkiewicz Jul 25 '11 at 19:58

    @Kugel: Blog seems to be down at the moment. Please see some details that are as appropriate. http://blog.victorjabur.com/2011/06/05/compiling-python-2-7-modules-on-windows-32-and-64-using-msvc-2008-express/ – pyfunc Dec 23 '11 at 00:02
  • Finally an answer that doesn't involve using Mingw32. Thank you so much! – airstrike Apr 05 '12 at 21:04

This was a known bug, and should not be an issue anymore.

If using MinGW, try:

setup.py install build ––compiler=mingw32
