Install Error on Windows 10

Following the instructions given for installation on Windows 10, it goes smoothly until the last step (pip3 install cltk), at which point at series of warnings and errors occur, and the installation procedure is aborted.

Here is the transcript from my attempt:

Interestingly, it appears the installation steps result in Python 3.4 being installed, not the version 3.5 that the compatibility warning on the Installation page would seem to require. But as the offending error is a missing Python header file (Python.h), perhaps that is immaterial.

You might try installing python3-dev as well as python-dev - that cured the missing header problem for me on a different package.

OK. I’ll close for now, then. Maybe another can help.
