Installing 0.4.15 on windows fails
Brought to you by:

The newly released 0.4.15 gives the following error on machines that dont have MSVC 9.0 installed.
That is to be considered a breaking change and I would have expected this to bump the package to 0.5.0 or similar if this was intended.
Was this intended?

This is not a breaking change, it is just a result of me not having supplied a .whl file. If you cannot compile from source (or have the time to wait until I can provide wheels for python versions that have been EOL for months, so there are some difficulties generating that), please pin the version on the last one that works.
The actual change is minor and doesn't affect functionality

Since posting this I have pinned to a previous version.
Thanks for the fast reply and information around what happened.
