I'm trying to install from source psutil 2.1.0 for Python 3.4. My OS is Windows 7 x64. I receive the error:

error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

Can you help me please? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

vcvarsall.bat looks like a dependency for Microsoft Visual Studio.
See: Python issue:Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

You could try to install it manually. Get the amd64 py3.4 build from here:

http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#psutil

And install it. If that fails as well, use 7-Zip to open the .exe and unpack the contained folder to your site-packages.

Answer 2

try my experience. I hope it will be helpful
I have Ptython 3.4 installed. I was trying to install 'paramiko' modul and I've recieved an error message (vcvarsall.bat)

So after that I did folowing:
1. install MinGW (refer to page- http://docs.cython.org/src/tutorial/appendix.html)
2. install pycrypto2.6.1 (I've found it here - https://github.com/axper/python3-pycrypto-windows-installer)
for others python version please refer this page -- www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml#pycrypto
3. check
