I have 3.4.3 installed. That was the last build it was possible to get
out of Anaconda for XP, and there's lots of goodies I have to do without
or work around.
But, "pip install recordclass-0.4.3-cp34-cp34m-win32.whl" fails with:
"recordclass-0.4.3-cp34-cp34m-win32.whl is not a supported wheel on this
platform."
Probably because it wants to use C++, or Visual something (higher than
version 4).
Unless you know how I can install recordclass without using pip, and
recordclass-0.4.3-cp34-cp34m-win32.whl won't fail if it can't find
Visual C++.
Again, maybe I should go back to Python 2 for this.
