The other responses were right-on. But just in case you don't know some of the background, let me try to fill it in. Python itself, much of the standard library, and many of the third-party extension libraries are written in C, completely or partly. If you get source code for any such code, you're expected to compile it, and on Windows, that usually means with Microsoft's C compiler, usually found within Visual Studio. There are free versions (usually with the name "express" as part of their description) on Microsoft's site. vcvars.bat is the first step towards finding a particular version of the compiler. Now, if you don't have the right versionof that compiler (or any version), you will probably be more comfortable using a precompiled binary version of the package. You still have to match the version against whatever CPython you're using, 32 or 64 bit, 2.7 or 3.3, or whatever. Depending on just what you were trying to install, you could look for such a binary package on python.org, on Stackoverflow, or on http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ -- DaveA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
