Pip Installing PTVSD fails

[DonJayamanne]

• Python2.7
• Pip install ptvsd from local source fails with the following error:

running build_ext
    building 'ptvsd.pydevd._pydevd_bundle.pydevd_cython' extension
    error: Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 is required. Get it from http://aka.ms/vcpython27

Can you update setuptools and try again to see if it's a problem there? The extension is optional, so failure shouldn't break the rest of the install.

(Alternatively, confirm whether it still installed even though the extension didn't build.)

No, it didn't get installed

It installed for me, I have setuptools 38.5.1 (but of course I have VC++ for Python redist)
