I installed the compiler package indicated here:
https://wiki.python.org/moin/WindowsCompilers (section titled "Microsoft
Visual C++ 14.0 standalone: Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017 (x86, x64,
ARM, ARM64)") and get a bunch of this:
d:\programs\python37\include\pystate.h(209): note: see declaration of '_ts'

ed with exit status 2
(there was more but this is the gist of it).
Really strongly pointing back at Python 3.7 at this point but it's not
where I usually live so ...

I am attempting to install Twisted 18.4.0 on a clean system, fresh install of Python 3.7. When I attempt to install from the source dist (python setup.py install) it complains I don't have the MS Visual C++ Build tools ("error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools"") and directs me to http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools - which is a 404.
"pip install twisted[windows_platform]" fails for the same reason.
Not sure where to go for a good compiler here ... any ideas? Is it too soon to adopt Python 3.7? Should I go back to 3.6? (this is going to be a system install so I'd prefer to avoid all virtualenv entanglements)
TIA,
Jeff
