I currently use python 3.4 and I also try to install ssdeep module for python. My operating system is windows 8. My best option is here: (I think) https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ssdeep, then I downloaded the tar.gz file but I get an error when I use this command in the specific directory;

python setup.py install

and the error output:

error: Microsoft Visual C++ 10.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Windows 
SDK 7.1": www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=8279

Even though I have them installed on my computer. (I could not find any .whl file of ssdeep) I can install ssdeep on a OSX without of anything needed. So what is wrong?

I am not running Windows but under Linux when you downloaded the tar.gz file you would have to extract it and then run python setup.py install in the extracted directory not pip (assuming there is a setup.py file there of course)
