Python 2.7 - Cython : mise à jour à 0,20 - Stack Overflow

I upgraded cython to 0.20 via pip install --upgrade cython. Before it was just working fine. Then I couldn't compile anymore. Then I tried to uninstall an reinstall an got this Unable to find vcvarsall.bat error which wasn't there when installing cython 0.19...Come to think about it, 0.19 was installed with python(x, y) installation.

I followed the instructions here, but not luck. Any ideas? Any more info I can provide?

Well, I got this working using a prebuild version from here as recommended by tom pohl here

In this case pip tries to compile cython with visual studio compiler (hence vcvarsall.bat error). To compile extensions for Python 2.7 (32-bit) using visual studio compiler you'll need to have Visual C++ 2008 Express installed.

But if one day you discover, that you'd like to build cython from source, then check out "How to use MinGW's gcc compiler when installing Python package using Pip?"
