So, the first step is to download and install the C++ compiler from Microsoft
from `this link`_.
+Find the location where it installed the ``vcvarsall.bat`` file; depending on
+the version of Windows it could be either
+``"%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual C++ for Python\9.0"``
+or ``"%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft\Visual C++ for Python\9.0"``, for example.
+We'll call this ``%VCDIR%`` below.

is available. Edit pyOpenSSL's ``setup.py`` around line 13 as follows::
