Old machine overheating, so time for a new one. Installed Python 3.5.0.
Need to install reportlab. "pip install reportlab" worked somewhat,
downloading both reportlab and pillow, but then failed:
running build_ext
building 'reportlab.lib._rl_accel' extension
error: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
Probably my first use of pip. No clue what file cannot be found.
Wild guess... I didn't see any comments about Python 3.5.0 on the
reportlab site: does reportlab not yet support Python 3.5.0 ?
Well, Googling is a little better than wild guessing, I found this
thread <http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/python/python/1219575>,
but it seems to be talking about compiling reportlab rather than
installing it. I thought one point of pip and .whl format was to provide
precompiled stuff?
