I found one of my problem why some times a code snippet would run and other time it would not. I use vs express as my EDI, well it would load up with 3.5 python one time then it would load 2.7.2 another time. Well I got that fixed. It loads on 3.5.2 now all the time. Here is a new problem, I need to install lxml, when I try this is the error I get:
running build_ext
building 'lxml.etree' extension
error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat
I googled vcvarsall.bat found it and downloaded it and put it in my system 32 file and still I get the same error. Maybe someone know what I can do about this?
Thank you
How are you installing it?
You need
wheel as posted over by sparkz_alot.
"vcvarsall.bat" you get when it try to compile stuff(lxml use C libraries),
to not setting up a compiler use wheel.
As example for python3.5 32bit:
pip install lxml-3.6.4-cp35-cp35m-win32.whl
Thank you, but it looks like I can't use it, this is what I get:

I went to the web site and try all the install they had there and none worked
thanks
I try to install it again from the python dir. still did not work.
C:\Python3.5>pip install lxml-3.6.4-cp35-cp35m-win32.whl

You get this error message if wheel(.whl) file is not in folder C:\Python3.5.
So download and move wheel(
lxml-3.6.4-cp35-cp35m-win32.whl) file into C:\Python3.5 folder.
Are you using the right file?
For a 32 bit Windows, you want the "lxml-3.6.4-cp35-cp35m-win32.whl" file for Python 3.5
For a 64 bit Windows, you want the "lxml-3.6.4-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl" file for Python 3.5
Typically, when you click on the file name, it will download it to your "Downloads" directory
Next you have two choices (done in the terminal):
1) navigate to the downloads directory (or whatever directory you downloaded to)
a) cd c:\users\user_name\downloads (or other directory)
b) pip install file_name
2) from where ever you are, use the full file location
a) pip install c:\users\user_name\downloads\file_name
That should solve your problem
yes I did it all
C:\Python3.5>pip install lxml-3.6.4-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl
Processing c:\python3.5\lxml-3.6.4-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

Thank you all for very good help
