Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Try this:

1. Download tagg-0.12.tar.gz from here
2. Extract the files to a folder
3. Open cmd and cd to the folder you extracted your files (you have to navigate to the folder where your setup.py is. It does not work from any other path)
4. Run command - python setup.py install
