According to the release notes , an update of the C runtime libraries is required.

As per this note , Python requires the Microsoft C Runtime for Visual Studio 2015, especially the ucrtbase.dll

. You can download it here .



For ms-windows users, I usually recommend using a Python distribution like ActivePython or Anaconda . They make life a lot easier if you want to use compiled extension modules like numpy. As $WORK

I use the Anaconda itself. It comes with a lot of extras like numpy, IPython and so on. And it has a package management tool called conda

if you want to get additional modules or update existing ones.
