Visual C++ for python failed with exit status 2 when installing divisi2

I am using Python 2.7 on Windows 8.1 46 bit.

I want to install divisi2

I have installed NumPy and SciPy which are the pre-requisites for divisi2 already. I have installed Visual C++ for python 9.0.

Whenever I issue the pip install divisi2 command I get the following error in the console.

Answer

I finally solved this problem after getting this hint from a colleague i.e. to use

https://github.com/develersrl/gccwinbinaries.

This will install the requisites and then you can install divisi2.
