I'm not anaconda user myself, but I'm fine with this fix as soon as there is someone around in the issue tracker who can help in case of problems. |

Hey fellows,
As I commented in #2475 , I've installed Windows in a VM to test Scrapy installation.
Sure enough, Conda seems the easiest way, I've had no problems at all with it.
As for PyPI, I was unable to test it: I couldn't even get Python to work without Anaconda (CPython installation kept freezing). :(
Anyway, I know this is just a data point, but given the trouble that is installing and compiling stuff on Windows, I think it makes sense to mention the conda option right in the beginning and to remove all the complication about setting up Python on Windows.
What do you think?
