I know there are many questions about this issue in Stack Overflow but nothing in these threads helped me. I already have Visual Studio 2019 and Visual Studio Build Tools 16.9.4 installed. I am using Python 3.9.4 64-bit and pip 21.0.1 (21.1 has a bug so I downgraded). I also tried running pip install --upgrade setuptools
I have also tried reinstalling Python 3.9.4 but it makes no sense.
I am trying to install pycrypto library with pip but it gives an error when running setup.py. Here is the result:
Running setup.py install for pycrypto ... error
