[PyOpenGL-Users] Trouble installing OpenGLContext

[Chris G. <chr...@gm...>]

I hope this is the right place to send this question, I was a little
perplexed at the support process.

I have been trying to install the OpenGLContext for use with Python (2.7.2
win32). I used the suggested method "c:\python26\scripts\easy_install.exe
OpenGLContext-full" but got the following output:

C:\Python27\Scripts>easy_install OpenGLContext-full

Processing openglcontext_full-2.1.0a9-py2.7.egg
openglcontext-full 2.1.0a9 is already the active version in easy-install.pth

error: Setup script exited with error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat


I have been searching for an answer but all I could find were some posts
that said vcvarsall.bat came from Microsoft Visual Studio, and one had to
install that first. That was said in the context of installing a different
application, but that is all I was able to find. Do I really need to
install Microsoft Visual Studio? Any help would be appreciated.
