Research direction

Start with setup.py and the linked Python issue to understand the 64-bit Windows failure and the setuptools-versus-distutils setup path. Update the setup dependency/import as described, then verify that natgrid setup and import work on 64-bit Windows.

Description

Please see the following post: https://bugs.python.org/issue23246
