Sudachipy Python package require Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater when already installed

Question

I am trying to install Sudachipy on my Windows machine. I tried directly from the tar file and with pip but I keep having the following error. When I check my installation in Settings>Apps&Features I see several versions of Microsoft Viusal C++, including the 2015-2019 Redistributable(x86) - 14.29.30040 The Package ask for 14. or higher. What is wrong here?

The redistributable c++ that you are seeing are neccessary installations to run applications. What you need are build tools, i.e. a compiler, which - as the error message states - you can get from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/

Alternatively, if you don't want to go through the trouble of compiling c code on your windows machine, you can look for compatible whl packages. In you case there is a pre-release of sudachiPy which has whl files for python 3.9, so you can do

pip install SudachiPy --pre

which should not need a compiler present to be installed

Sudachipy Python package require Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater when already installed
