Hi, I am sorry I do not remember the still part but Yappi currently does only support source dist. There is an open issue for having wheel distro.: https://github.com/sumerc/yappi/issues/18.

For compiling extensions on Windows, you just need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required and that is all.

I will work on it hopefully whenever I find time :(

Right, I noted this down when I tried installing yappi on a Windows server and it turned out to now have those dependencies installed

# Will require a Visual C++ 14.X compiler: https://wiki.python.org/moin/WindowsCompilers
# Install:
#     * Visual C++ Build tools core features (included)
#     * Visual C++ 20XX Redistributable Update (included)
#     * VC++ 20XX v14X build tools
#     * Windows 10 SDK
# For a total of ~4GBs
# What have I done??!

The Visual Studio build tools aren't easy to find on the current website either, they're at the very bottom of the page for me:

You're supposed to download and install "Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019" from that list, select the "C++ build tools" workload and then install the modules listed above (though the names have the annoying tendency to vary).

And you're thinking about skipping the Windows 10 SDK because that thing alone is 3GBs, I tried. As it turns out, you'll actually need it.

Hmm.. Did not know this is that hard!

Maybe generating a wheel(at least for Windows right now) is a good idea.

@sumerc Can you please make a release? :) I'd also appreciate a source (sdist) release at least, because I am able to pip install on Windows myself.

I require to use gevent/greenlet functionality, which was merged ~3 weeks ago. I'd really appreciate an interim release for it. :)

[sumerc]

Hey @guilt, it is hopefully coming today.

[sumerc]

A new version 1.3.0 is released containing gevent support.

[sumerc]

With version of 1.3.6, we finally have wheel support.
