Windows installation error

See original GitHub issue

On attempting install on a Win 7 PC with py 3.6.2 (Anaconda dist) I get the error:

Hi @simonw - I just hit this issue when trying out Datasette after your PyCon talk today. Datasette is pinned to Sanic 0.7.0, but it looks like 0.8.0 added the option to remove the uvloop dependency for Windows by having an environment variable SANIC_NO_UVLOOP at install time. Maybe that’ll be sufficient before a port to Starlette?

I’m working on a port of Datasette to Starlette which I think would fix this issue: https://github.com/encode/starlette
