Jupyter install failure - mingw w64 with Python 3.5

[Le Snelson]

Attempting to install jupyter on mingw w64 using 'pip3 install jupyter' yields a failure relating to MSVC compatibility -

File "D:/msys64/mingw64/lib/python3.5\distutils\msvc9compiler.py", line 297, in <module>

    raise DistutilsPlatformError("VC %0.1f is not supported by this module" % VERSION)

distutils.errors.DistutilsPlatformError: VC 6.0 is not supported by this module

From my reading this is down to the most current build of jupyter being based on python 3,4 and the longstanding MSVC runtime version issue.

Is there a 'reasonable' way to dodge this distutils package issue?

I'm running on Windows 10 with the latest mingw64.

Installing jupuyter directly in Windoz seems to be an issue from my reading of the installer doc'n.  It installs python on Windoz first - not a captive runtime of python within the jupyuter directories.  I'm trying to avoid multiple versions of python on the same 'system'.

Any suggestions?

Jupyter itself has no compiled parts, so it's likely that your issue is with one of the dependencies, probably pyzmq, which does contain compiled parts. If you can get that installed in your target Python, there should be no problems with installing Jupyter using pip.

Thanks takowl.  Good idea.

On my first attempt I did see libsodium, libzmq attempts to compile.  I've started making libzmq and wouldn't you know there are some basic code errors that pop up and there doesn't seem to be any release points where i can depend on a stable build.  Could be wrong, but I'll diddle with it.
