Pypy - Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

I was reluctant to send this email but after more than a couple of thoughts, I decided what the heck and go for it.I am writing in relation to installing pypy.I was successful in installing numpy, pandas, and matplotlib, but not pypy.My problem is when I install it, I got this error "Unable to find vcvarsall.bat" statement.A simple Google found this problem to be widespread since many years ago, and I guess until today it is still unresolved.How come the pypy development community does not do anything about this?

HI, Sorry you are having trouble. What operating system are you running? What steps did you talk to encounter the problem? What compiler are you trying to use? Best. P.S. I am not a dev so this is just some of the questions I think they will need. On Mon, Mar 30, 2015 at 10:13 AM, Heng Cheong <gaianeka@yahoo.com.dmarc.invalid> wrote:

Hi Yaacov, I am using Python 3.4 on Windows 7.I did a lot of Goggling and found differing solutions. Like some people suggested to install Visual Studio 2008 (which is no longer available), or Visual C++ 2010 Express, or MinGW compiler (haven't try this one out yet), and at the same time some people said they have tried out such suggestions and while some got their problem solved, some others said a different kind of technical problem cropped up. So it's like the solutions to this "Unable to find vcvarsall.bat" isn't standardized, thus I have no idea what exactly should I do.

PyPy is available as a binary zip file for windows from http://pypy.org/download.html, there is no reason for you to compile it. If you do choose to do so, please follow these instructions carefully : http://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/windows.html Note that by default PyPy is compatible with cpython 2.7.9, we do not have a cpython 3.4 version available yet. As far as obtaining visual studio 2008, you might want to try http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44266, which was the first Google hit for "microsoft python compiler" and provides enough of visual studio 2008 to build python packages for python 2.7. The standard compiler for python 3.x is visual 2010, also a free download from https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads#d-2010-express Matti
