I am trying to install vowpalwabbit by using pip in Windows.
My python version is 3.7. As I am new in using vowpalwabbit, it is possible that I forget to configure some external dependencies. Therefore, can you please explain every single the step to make it work. I got the following error when I run the following:
pip install vowpalwabbit
raise Exception('Pre-built vw/python library for Windows is not supported for this python version')
Exception: Pre-built vw/python library for Windows is not supported for this python version```

A new version of vowpalwabbit (8.7.0) was released to PyPI last week. In addition, binary wheels for 64-bit Python 3.6/3.7 are available for Windows.
If you're using the 64-bit version of Python (or can switch to using it):
pip install vowpalwabbit
should work properly without any additional dependencies
