Unable to find vcvarsall.bat - TA-lib

I hit the "Unable to find vcvarsall.bat" when installing TA-Lib using PIP. I am running Python 2.7.8 on Windows 10 64bits.

Here is how I get rid of the problem.

1. Downloading Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7

2. Upgrade the setup tools and wheel

pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

check the setuptools version by using pip list.

upgraded my setuptools to 40.0.0

3. Install TA-LIB

pip install TA-LIB

Good to go!
