#fixerror

I found the answer to resolve it from Stackoverflow, here is how to Fix it:

For Windows installations:

While running setup.py for package installations Python 2.7 searches for an installed Visual Studio 2008. You can trick Python to use a newer Visual Studio by setting the correct path in VS90COMNTOOLS environment variable before calling setup.py.

If you have Visual Studio 2010 installed, execute

SET VS90COMNTOOLS=%VS100COMNTOOLS%

or with Visual Studio 2012 installed

SET VS90COMNTOOLS=%VS110COMNTOOLS%

Another way to resolve this problem

I found the solution. I had the exact same problem, and error, installing 'amara'. I had mingw32 installed, but distutils needed to be configured.

I have Python 2.6 that was already installed.

I installed mingw32 toC:\programs\mingw\

Add mingw32's bin directory to your environment variable: appendc:\programs\MinGW\bin;to thePATH

Edit (create if not existing)distutils.cfgfile located atC:\Python26\Lib\distutils\distutils.cfgto be:

[build] compiler=mingw32

Now runeasy_install.exe amara.

Make sure environment is set by opening a newcmd.exe.
