Re: Installing Twisted on a clean Windows system

I installed the compiler package indicated here:
https://wiki.python.org/moin/WindowsCompilers (section titled "Microsoft
Visual C++ 14.0 standalone: Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017 (x86, x64,
ARM, ARM64)") and get a bunch of this:

d:\programs\python37\include\pystate.h(209): note: see declaration of '_ts'
src/twisted/internet/iocpreactor/iocpsupport/iocpsupport.c(7699): error
C2039: 'exc_traceback':

error: command

fail
ed with exit status 2

(there was more but this is the gist of it).

Really strongly pointing back at Python 3.7 at this point but it's not
where I usually live so ...
