rocksdb fails to install on Windows

[fonty422]

I can't seem to install rocksdb on Windows 10, either through pip install faust[rocksdb] or pip install python-rocksdb.

Trace reveals it's an issue with compiling:

Building wheels for collected packages: python-rocksdb

People do point to the issue in a few places, but there aren't any full instructions on how to overcome the issue.

I've definitely confirmed that my pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date.

Isn't this a rocksdb issue and not a faust issue?

Regardless, this project appears to have been abandoned.

You might want to check out the fork of this project - https://github.com/faust-streaming/faust

Yep. You're correct. I realised not long after I posted that I should have reported the issue to rocksdb, but then forgot/failed to update here. I'll continue to look more into faust-streaming as the new package going forward
