          ############################
          # Package would be ignored #
          ############################
          Python recognizes 'multidict._multilib' as an importable package,
          but it is not listed in the `packages` configuration of setuptools.

          'multidict._multilib' has been automatically added to the distribution only
          because it may contain data files, but this behavior is likely to change
          in future versions of setuptools (and therefore is considered deprecated).

          Please make sure that 'multidict._multilib' is included as a package by using
          the `packages` configuration field or the proper discovery methods
          (for example by using `find_namespace_packages(...)`/`find_namespace:`
          instead of `find_packages(...)`/`find:`).

          You can read more about "package discovery" and "data files" on setuptools
          documentation page.

I just realized the out put said I need, "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/"

which i thought was included in node.js when i checked the box, hmm

[mattjaf]

If you get an error with something like:

error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools"

You’ll have to do the following:

Download and install the Build Tools for Visual Studio, and then install the C++ build tools. Once installed, run the following command in your terminal. Here is a video tutorial showing you how to install the build tools.

pip install --upgrade setuptools

Hello @mattjaf nice catch, keep learning!
