Python on windows is a special case. Don't try to use pip/easy_install(setup tools) for anything that has extension modules, or needs compilation rather. Just find the binary distribution for your CPU architecture for windows and install using that. Pip and setup tools were not made for a windows-type environment. I.e. Where you have don't library dependencies automatically installed and you require a compiler. Windows is a second-class citizen when it comes to those things, but it's getting better with cygwin and all that.
