I'll look at the PyPi page again, it's true I skipped over the Python2
builds, but if that turns out tobe my best option, I can rewrite my
project for Python2.

Unfortunately I don't have Visual Studio 2015+ installed and I can't
install it on Windows XP SP2 (plus I really don't want to). Probably I
should have mentioned that, but I didn't know I'd need to build C/C++.

There isn't any solution or workaround for me if building C/C++ is
required.
