pip.exceptions.InstallationError: Command "C:\Python\Python35-32\python.exe -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;file='C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-mwb58gi9\mod-wsgi\setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(file);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, file, 'exec'))" install --record C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-a_8yhdqk-record\install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-mwb58gi9\mod-wsgi\

  • Have you installed the Microsoft C compiler corresponding to that Python version? https://wiki.python.org/moin/WindowsCompilers – Graham Dumpleton Jul 07 '17 at 02:41
  • pleasantly surprised and appreciate fast response. I have installed visual C++ build tools 14 from Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 package since I was earlier getting an error requesting for this version. – Gaurav Jul 07 '17 at 02:52
  • Surprisingly, this solution worked for me. Can't believe it was as simple as this:https://stackoverflow.com/a/24984859/7247038 copied the file rc.exe and rcdll.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\bin\x64 to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin. Also upgraded the python version to 64 bit one – Gaurav Jul 07 '17 at 03:18
