From the steps indicated I think you should open your terminal and follow theses steps :

  • First go in the folder indicated : cd <your_python_path>\Lib\distutils.
  • Second - according to the author of the article, a file named cygwinccompiler.py is supposed to be present, the patch is supposed to be applied on it.
  • Third download (or copy as you prefered) the patch file in the current directory, lets name the patch file patch.diff (for reminder here is its link https://bugs.python.org/file40608/patch.diff).
  • Then you must run :
pip install patch
python -m patch patch.diff

Since the name of the file to patch is present in patch.diff you do not have to precise the destination file.
