I'm on Windows 7 and I just did 'pip install reportlab'.

It scrolled a bunch of stuff and then quit with this:

running build_ext

building '_rl_accel' extension

error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

Command c:\python26\python.exe -c "import setuptools; __file__='C:\\dev\\build\\
reportlab\\setup.py'; execfile('C:\\dev\\build\\reportlab\\setup.py')" install -

If I do 'import reportlab', it says it's not there.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
