Description

When trying to Pip install shows error in Building wheels

[ashtacore]

I was having an issue building the wheel as well on Windows Server 2019. I installed the MS build tools but got the error: C:\Program Files\Python310\include\pyconfig.h(59): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'io.h': No such file or directory

I found this answer on SO https://stackoverflow.com/a/50210015/13443483 and added the windows SDK through the Visual Studio installer. I meant to click on the latest version of the Windows 10 SDK, but accidentally selected the Windows 11 SDK. However after it finished installing I reran pip install psutil and it was able to successfully build the wheel.

Hope this helps in your debugging.

Is there anyother way instead of downloading Visual Studio Installer in Windows??

You can download the Windows SDK here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-sdk/ and the MS 2015 build tools can be installed here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48159

Hope that works for you.
