Installation of yappi (timing module)

[Virgil Stokes]

I have been doing some experiments with different modules for the timing of
functions and code segments. One module I would like to test is yappi (thread
aware timer) which is listed at PyPI. However, I have been unable to install it
on Windows Vista and Windows 7 (Python 2.7 on both). I have tried both
easy_install and pip (as suggested at http://code.google.com/p/yappi/). Here is
what happens with easy_install

error: Setup script exited with error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

And pip fails with similar problems (same pyconfig errors where C++ header files
are not found). In both cases yappi-0.62.tar.gz was downloaded.Note: 1) I also
tried to install from the source which also failed with similar problems, 2) I
have both cygwin and MinGW gcc compilers on my systems and they do contain in
their include folder these "missing" header files.

Any suggestions on how yappi can be installed would be appreciated.
