Trying to install web3 in Python with the pip install command, it gets to Running setup.py install for cytoolz and then fails as follows:
I have searched many articles that suggest installing the Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 using the Build Tools for Visual Studio, which I have done.
I have also copied the rc.exe and rc.dll from the C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86 to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio folder.
None of these seem to have worked unfortunately.
I tried to install cytoolz on its own but it gives the same error below.

Resolved: I removed anything Visual Studio related as well as build tools, reloaded VS and then installed the following build tools as per this article: https://stackoverflow.com/a/55575792/1612432
