From the setup.py, when you are installing from source , its clearly written that you need Visual Studio C++ Redistributable to be installed in your system.

Relevant section in setup.py

# for windows install see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2817869/error-unable-to-find-vcvarsall-bat
# for visual studio compilation you need to SET VS90COMNTOOLS=%VS140COMNTOOLS%
if sys.platform.startswith("win"):
    os.environ["VS90COMNTOOLS"] = os.environ["VS140COMNTOOLS"]

This answer explains the installation procedure for the required VSC version https://stackoverflow.com/a/18045219/995052.
