pip building wheel fails for pycddlib

Question

I am having severe problems installing pycddlib for Python 3.6 on Windows 10.

The package can be found here. However there is no wheel for Python 3.6 and hence the provided wheels to not support my system.
I followed the instructions on this site to build a wheel. I tried to install Visual C++ Build Tools 2015 however I had no sucess in installing the package as pip install pycddlib throws the error

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio

14.0\VC\BIN\x86_amd64\cl.exe' failed with exit status 2

Instead I installed Visual Studio 2017 with Python development workload and the Native development tools option. Trying to install pycddlib now does not throw the same error but simply the following error
```
  Failed building wheel for pycddlib
```
This thread suggests that one has to install required packages first, but pycddlib does not seem to require anything else
This website suggests building instructions for the package pycddlib. Nonetheless I am lacking knowledge to update theses instructions in order to build the correct thing for my setup.

Thanks for your help!

I edited the links into your question. But the second link ` followed the instructions on this site` is empty - where do you want to link this to? — bastelflp, Nov 08 '17 at 21:42

The developer has added support for python 3.6. Hence there are working wheels for Python 3.6 under this link available now.
