Have the same problem while trying to install on windows 10, fails building wheel for regex.

This while " pip install regex" gives no problems.

Would be great is someone could help :)

@twakawl I had problems on Windows 7. The log indicated installing Visual Studio C++ 14 build tools, which resolved it for me. See here, where upgrading setuptools is also suggested and should be tried first.

If the Windows compiler is also the issue for you, then more context and version information here:
