Awesome! Thanks a lot, that looks promising (and proof that it's actually possible to run on Windows). I'm no expert on Boost or Windows or Anaconda, but could there be a way to use Anaconda's boost library (to avoid the extra compilation step)? https://anaconda.org/anaconda/boost Having some install instructions for Windows would definitely be much appreciated! |

I am certainly no expert either, but that looks very promising! Let me try it out and see if it will simplify things. Thank you! |

Great! Let us know if you get stuck somewhere ... @swillner and i don't really use Windows but i think there are quite a few people who would appreciate a simple Windows install :-) |

I recently had a difficult time setting up pyhector on my windows machine, and I'm hoping this guide could be helpful to someone else. My instructions are a bit lengthy, so I added a file "docs/windows/installation.md" for now, and made the installation instructions in the README link to it.
As I mention at the top of the guide, the solution I found feels very hacky and borderline problematic, but it seems to get pyhector properly installed and running for now. Hopefully other Windows users might be able to modify and improve these instructions.
If this would be a useful contribution, let me know if I can edit it in any way for it to fit in better. It's in markdown right now but I realize you would probably want it as an rst file if it is to live in the docs folder.
