Installation Failure: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required (cffi build error on Windows)

[minkikar]

I encountered a build failure while attempting to install the dependencies for this project on Windows using pip install -r requirements.txt. The installation fails specifically during the compilation of the cffi dependency.

Environment:

OS: Windows 10/11

Python Version: 3.x (check yours with python --version)

Package Version: (The version listed in your requirements.txt)

Collecting cffi==1.15.1 (from -r requirements.txt (line 6))
Using cached cffi-1.15.1.tar.gz (508 kB)
Installing build dependencies ... done
Getting requirements to build wheel ... error
error: subprocess-exited-with-error

× Getting requirements to build wheel did not run successfully.
│ exit code: 1
╰─> [39 lines of output]
...
distutils.errors.DistutilsPlatformError: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required.
Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/

Steps to Reproduce:

Clone the repository.

Create a virtual environment on Windows.

Run pip install -r requirements.txt.

Expected Behavior: The package should install without requiring a full C++ build environment, or the documentation should specify that MSVC Build Tools are a prerequisite for Windows users.

Please remove cffi and uvloop from the environment and then install the dependencies again using:

pip uninstall cffi uvloop
pip install -r requirements.txt

After removing these packages, the installation from requirements.txt works successfully.
