Installing Python pylibmc on Windows fails with "Cannot open include file: 'libmemcached/memcached.h'"

Question

I apparently need memcached to use pylibmc with Django but it keeps popping

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'libmemcached/memcached.h': No such file or directory

I saw this question and this one for Windows (among others) which don't have working answers, plus this question that seems to be the widely accepted answer, but on Linux..

I even tried downloading the memcached source and adding the files to my include folder directly but it always pops new errors. I can't believe I'm the only one using Django on Windows, needing pylibmc. Anyone has the answer to that issue?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, it seem like pylibmc is not supported on Windows. So it's possible this cannot be fixed.
