Description

I downloaded the zip and unzipped the pattern-master folder to my system.
Then I ran the python setup.py install. After a bunch of modules were installed, it halted because of the following issue:

Searching for mysqlclient
Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/mysqlclient/
Downloading https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/ec/fd/83329b9d3e14f7344d1cb31f128e6dbba70c5975c9e57896815dbb1988ad/mysqlclient-1.3.13.tar.gz#sha256=ff8ee1be84215e6c30a746b728c41eb0701a46ca76e343af445b35ce6250644f

error: Setup script exited with error: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\\VC\\PlatformSDK\\lib`

It seems that my system lacks some tools given there but then I am quite new to building Python modules and the like. What possibly could be the issue here?

Research direction

Start with setup.py's dependency and installation declarations, then inspect the mysqlclient build output and the referenced Windows path. Reproduce the stated python setup.py install command; done means installation completes without the reported missing-path error or the required environment details are documented.
