Cython install problem

Question

I got Cython 0.15 and tried to install it like this

python setup.py install

I get this:

running install
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
building 'Cython.Plex.Scanners' extension
error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

What does this mean? I have Micorsoft Visual Studio 2008 and Windows SDK. Using Windows 7, python 2.6

I have no direct answer to your question, but I would strongly recommend to give this pre-built Cython package a try.
