This is a *VERY* informative error message. Read it carefully.

It precisely tells you what went wrong (did not find a Visual Studio 2003)
and tells you a workaround.

To solve your problem: either install Visual Studio 2003 and
run "setup.py install" again (you probably must pay lots of dollars
to MS) or you install the priceless "Cygwin" and run
"setup.py -c mingw32 install".
