error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

I get this error when I try to install using pip. After that, the installation terminates and the tool is not available.

Looks like you need the Visual C++ compiler for Python. Take a look here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44266

Let me know if this fixes the problem. I'll see if I can dig up a Windows machine to compile a wheel for it, but right now most everything requires compilation on your machine.

I fixed this by downloading the *.whl file from some website. I'll try to install the compiler. Thanks for reply.

Mind linking where you got the wheel from?

No problem, it's in my home computer's history. When I come home I'll share the link.

Hi Darker,

did you find where the .whl came from? Any chance you could write down a quick step through on how to fix this problem?

Thanks a lot

Ok, finally found it: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ Specifically the file I used: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/g7ckv9dk/line_profiler-2.0-cp34-cp34m-win_amd64.whl

I don't remember how did I install it anymore. There are tutorials for that though.
