I am trying to install numpy in python 3.5 under windows 10 with visual studio 2015 ultimate installed.
Short version: file vcvarsall.bat is missing from vs14 folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC folder. Why?
Long version:
Running pip install numpy gives me this error error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat
researching this error got me to several stackoverflow answers that helped me figure out that python needs c++ compiler to compile some of the packages. And it needs the to do it using the same version of compiler that was used to compile python 3.5 ( error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat ). My python is compiled using [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] - which is vs 14 ( visual studio 2015 )
Moving further with my research i learned out from:
pip install gives error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat that
get_build_version() from $python_install_prefix/Lib/distutils/msvc9compiler.py returns the version of vs that shoud be used to find the path of vcvarsall.bat
For me this method returns 14. So everything correct.
Now when I look into the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC there file vcvarsall.bat is missing.
But when I look into the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC there is a vcvarsall.bat.
Why is vcvarsall.bat missing from vs 14.0 ??

When you see “unable to find vcvarsall. bat”, it means you're installing a package that has an extension module, but only the source code. “vcvarsall. bat” is part of the compiler in Visual Studio that is necessary to compile the module.
To Solve error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with “Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools” You just need to Install Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0. First of all just download Visual C++ 2015 Build Tools from given link. And That will install Visual C++ 14.0 without installing Visual Studio.
Visual Studio 2019 contains Visual C++ 14.2 compiler. The setuptools Python package version must be at least 34.4.
Make sure C++ Common Tools are installed in Visual Studio.

I've come across this problem before when trying to install numpy. Although I was unable to fix the 'vcvarsall.bat' problem, I found that i could download pre compiled libraries from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ Download the libraries you want, navigate to wherever the downloaded .whl files are and open a command prompt window. run 'pip install [whl file name]' This will install the library for you with no compile issue.

I downloaded the Microsoft Visual C++ build Tools Link Here and everything worked great.
