For latest details on what compiler to install for which Python version, if compiling yourself, see

• https://wiki.python.org/moin/WindowsCompilers

For unofficial precompiled binaries see:

• https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#mod_wsgi

Download the .whl file and then run pip install giving path to the file as argument.

You can then possibly run:

mod_wsgi-express module-config

and it will output what you need to add to the Apache configuration to load mod_wsgi.
