pip install ourSQL "Cannot find the file specified"

Question

When I try to use pip to install oursql I run into the following error

 C:\Users\user>pip install oursql
    Collecting oursql
      Using cached https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/8c/88/9f53a314a2af6f56c0a1249c5673ee384b85dc791bac5c1228772ced3502/oursql-0.9.3.2.tar.gz

      Running setup.py install for oursql ... error

        ----------------------------------------
    Command "c:\python27\python.exe -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='c:\\users\\user\\appdata\\local\\temp\\pip-install-l7rkx0\\oursql\\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\user\appdata\local\temp\pip-record-yke4zh\install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in c:\users\user\appdata\local\temp\pip-install-l7rkx0\oursql\

And I run into the same error when I try to install from source

C:\Users\user\Downloads\oursql-0.9.3.1>python setup.py install
cython not found, using previously-cython'd .c file.
running install
running build
running build_ext
error: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified

I've tried running cmd as administrator and the same errors occurred. Any help in this would be appreciated.

You need Cython to compile oursql because the author has forgotten to commit generated modules.

As the author of oursql seems to disappear I forked the module, committed missed generated files and applied pull requests. I doubt I will develop it further but I can accept pull requests.
