Pywin32 is mostly written in C, and has lots of dependencies and weird
build requirements. In order to compile it, you must have the same C
compiler that your release of Python was built with. For older Python
versions (like 2.7) that compiler is obsolete and hard to find, so
installs from source are pretty nearly impossible.
Would a binary wheel be able to do all of the crazy set up that the
Windows installer does?
AFAIK, wheel do not support post_install scripts.
According to the comments in Scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py, it does:
# copies PyWinTypesxx.dll and PythonCOMxx.dll into the system directory,
# and creates a pth file
According to the code, it does a lot more...
I don't think pip can run this script (it even needs admin privs!).
