Building Twisted on Windows

This contains information for building Twisted on Windows

Installation requirements

You will need a standard Python 3 dev environment. See the official documentation at https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html

Download Visual Studio Installer and get the following components for C++ build tools (might use newer versions):

• MSVC v142 - VS 2019 C++ build tools

• Windows 10 SDK

You can get Python 3 via nuget.

Also get Git for Windows.

Dev process

Make sure pip script is installed with python -m pip install -U pip as the default python might be created with only the pip module and without the pip script.

Then you can do the standard pip install -e .[dev]
