If you find yourself in a position on Windows where you need one of these modules, you'll want to bookmark this site:

They have done a great job of pre-compiling many 3rd party modules for Windows users.
I note that these libraries are precompiled for CPython. I'm assuming that means I have to install CPython before adding them to my Python library, but please confirm.
Right now, in Win 10, I've got Python 3.6.4 x64_86 installed for limited user (in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\...). Not sure if that's a good idea, but I figure it would help me avoid having to reinstall Windows if I screw something up. Please comment.
Also please comment on whether using pyinstaller -F --noconsole is a good idea, or are there better alternatives to pyinstaller.
