Looking into the error, I do not think it is related to the parser itself, but Windows' messy build system. I found this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2817869/error-unable-to-find-vcvarsall-bat.

While running setup.py for package installations Python 2.7 searches for an installed Visual Studio 2008.You can trick Python to use a newer Visual Studio by setting the correct path in VS90COMNTOOLS environment variable before calling setup.py.

If you have Visual Studio 2010 installed, execute

SET VS90COMNTOOLS=%VS100COMNTOOLS%

or with Visual Studio 2012 installed

SET VS90COMNTOOLS=%VS110COMNTOOLS%

Closing this for now unless someone suggests a thing I can do to the parser itself.
