Hello, The code was not tested on Windows. I am not familiar with missing dependencies on this platform. Let me know if you find a solution, it may benefit to the Windows users.

The link here is basically how I started solving this issue.

Taking the above advice I then added "import setuptools" to the first line (very important its at the top of the import list) and I'm now installing MS Visual C++ 14.0 to clean up what I think is the final error.
