VC++ error while installing Python module

Question

I have Anaconda distribution of Python 2.7. I want to operate a Basler camera. Since OpenCV doesn't give such possibility, I downloaded a Python wrapper around a code, which will allow me to operate it. However, I have problems installing this wrapper. I have installed "VC++ for Python" but when I run the "install" command from the anaconda command window, I get the following errors. What am I doing wrong? I have Windows 10 64bit.

Answer 1

It turns out that this Python wrapper in the current version can be installed with Python 3.5 only. So to succesfully install this package, Python 3.5 with Visual Studio Community edition is required. After installing the package, it works without any problems and creates an interface between python and Basler cameras.
