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/
I've used it repeatedly with no problems, other than the fact that it
takes hours to download and install, even with a high speed broadband
link. Steve Dower is attempting to get his Microsoft colleagues to
produce a bare minimum that could be used to build Python.
