vcvarsall.bat with Python 2.7 cannot use pip to install fabric

I've searched SO regarding this question, and the only information is regarding Python 2.6.

The apparent fix as outlined here for example: error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat does not seem to work with Python 2.7

I am trying to install fabric utilizing the command pip install fabric and am getting a long list of errors ending with error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

If anyone could advise on a fix, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

It sounds like your distutils.cfg file might not be in the right place. Take a look at the fix outlined here: pip mingw compile? If that doesn't help, search StackOverflow for vcvarsall and you'll find other discussions.
