Hive connections not working on Windows

Using Anaconda2 with sasl from: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ allows the package to install and load, but establishing a connection fails:

```
In [1]: from pyhive import hive

In [2]: connection = hive.connect(xxxxx)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TTransportException Traceback (most recent call last)
in ()
----> 1 connection = hive.connect(xxxxx)

C:\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\pyhive\hive.pyc in connect(*args, **kwargs)
59 :returns: a :py:class:`Connection` object.
60 """
---> 61 return Connection(*args, **kwargs)

63

C:\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\pyhive\hive.pyc in __init__(self, host, port, use
rname, database, configuration)
84
85 try:
---> 86 self._transport.open()
87 open_session_req = ttypes.TOpenSessionReq(
88 client_protocol=ttypes.TProtocolVersion.HIVE_CLI_SERVICE
_PROTOCOL_V1,

C:\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\thrift_sasl\__init__.pyc in open(self)
70 if not ret:
71 raise TTransportException(type=TTransportException.NOT_OPEN,
---> 72 message=("Could not start SASL: %s" % self.sasl.getError()))
73
74 # Send initial response

TTransportException: Could not start SASL: Error in sasl_client_start (-4) SASL(
-4): no mechanism available: Unable to find a callback: 2
```

Which is probably an issue with sasl libraries not being readily available on Windows, but if anyone has managed to get pyhive working on Windows I'd appreciate a pointer
