ERROR: Could not build wheels for bottleneck which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly

[1ycx]

I was installing fastai library and the build was failing every time during Bottleneck installation. So I tried installing the Bottleneck library separately.
I also have the Visual Studio Build Tools v14 installed.
Python v3.6.8
Install via pip
Latest setuptools and wheel

This issue is already exists here #281 but its closed.

I also tried installing the v1.3.1 of Bottleneck but that fails too.
Here are my logs:

Well, I installed the latest Win 10 SDK and it installs properly. But not everyone will want to install 1GB of Visual Studio Build Tools.

I've merged some improved logging but have not yet included it in a release.

I'm happy to consider PRs that would help us move towards releasing pre-compiled binaries that support runtime enabling of certain optimizations, but that's a lot more work than I have bandwidth for at the moment.

I think it's reasonable to expect Windows users to have the right SDK installed if they're not using Anaconda, as you're going to be seeing pretty terrible performance with the standard wheels otherwise (no BLAS/mkl/etc).

any update??
