I updated all choco packages including python3, but when "choco install 
python3" was run according to the latest instructions in the developer's 
guide[1], it installed Python 3.8.0, which caused a failure:

      CMake Error at cmake/modules/LocatePythonModule.cmake:47 (message):
        Could NOT find python module asn2wrs
      Call Stack (most recent call first):
        cmake/modules/UseAsn2Wrs.cmake:11 (locate_python_module)
        epan/dissectors/asn1/HI2Operations/CMakeLists.txt:34 (ASN2WRS)

I uninstalled Python 3.8.0 (choco uninstall python3) and installed the latest 
3.7 release instead, currently 3.7.5[2] via: choco install python -version=3.7.5

I think it might be a good idea to update the developer's guide to specify the 
exact python version to install?  Of course the downside of specifying the 
version is that when newer versions are released, the user won't get it, but 
will get the older version instead, so maybe it's better if someone could 
figure out how to fix the build so it works with Python 3.8, if possible?  By 
the way, the buildbot is using Python 3.7.4, in case anyone cares to update it?

Or something was wrong with my environment which caused it to fail?  Maybe 
someone would care to update their version of Python to see if they get the 
same results as I did with Python 3.8.0?
