After downloading hdf5-1.8.12-win32-vs10shared.zip and installing (adds dir to PATH) there is still no hdf5dll18.lib and hdf5_hldll.lib available. So

python3 setup.py install

fails (python3 is my rename). My h5py is from github.

Workaround:

Copying hdf5.lib and hdf5_hl.lib to the root of the h5py clone and renaming to the wanted files helped.

Instead of compiling oneself (e.g. by using the workaround mentioned in the question) there are windows binaries of h5py and many other python packages available online, also for the newest python version.
