pyrtmidi Unable to install with Python

I'm a complete noob to Python, so I don't know how to ship around this, but it seems not to work out-of-the box with pip install rtmidi like specified in the readme, so I open up an issue here. Seems to me that you're buiding RtMidi from CPP source here and try to link against python34.lib, which is not present on my system. Idk, is there maybe a more general solution to this, so you use the lib corresponding to the Python version actually installed?
