Research direction
Start with setup.py's dependency and installation declarations, then inspect the mysqlclient build output and the referenced Windows path. Reproduce the stated python setup.py install command; done means installation completes without the reported missing-path error or the required environment details are documented.

Description
I downloaded the zip and unzipped the pattern-master folder to my system.
Then I ran the python setup.py install. After a bunch of modules were installed, it halted because of the following issue:

error: Setup script exited with error: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\\VC\\PlatformSDK\\lib`
It seems that my system lacks some tools given there but then I am quite new to building Python modules and the like. What possibly could be the issue here?
