Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

You must use Visual Studio to build a python extension on windows. If you
are getting this error it means you have not installed Visual C++. Note
that there are many flavors of Visual Studio, like Visual Studio for C#
development. You need to install Visual Studio for C++.
