Hmm. I don't understand the warning there, but the final error is pretty straight-forward: you cannot build a package from source without having Visual Studio installed. Sadly, my usual go-to source for Windows wheels doesn't have ibm_db: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ but that's definitely the first place to look. You basically have two choices: 1) Install the zero-dollar edition of Visual Studio 2015 (I think it's available from https://www.visualstudio.com/ but I've never actually used it, so don't depend on my advice), and build the extension from source. You may find Steve Dower's blog helpful here: http://stevedower.id.au/blog/building-for-python-3-5/ 2) Find someone who has done the above, or is willing to do it for you. Get him/her to build you a wheel file (.whl), which will then be able to be installed on your computer without needing Visual Studio. You may be able to contact the author(s) of the ibm_db package and ask for a wheel. Or there might be someone here who'll do it for you. Be aware, though, that you have to trust the wheel builder completely; you'll be taking compiled binary code and installing it on your computer. I'm sure most people in the world are trustworthy, but there are those few who aren't... But you already know that, I have no doubt. Building it yourself is a lot more work, especially as a one-off, but once you get yourself set up to build from source, you should be able to build anything else you need without too much more effort.
