Help Needed: Unable to Install pysparse Due to Missing Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0

[zhaxinmeng]

Hello everyone,

I'm encountering an issue while trying to install the pysparse library due to my system lacking the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 compiler. I've attempted to find the relevant installation resources on the official website, but it seems that this particular version of the resource is no longer easily available. My environment is on Windows 10, using Python 2.7.18 within Anaconda.

Problem Overview
During my attempt to install pysparse, I received an error message indicating that my system is missing Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0. This has led to a failure in the installation process due to the absence of this compiler.

Expected Outcome
I'm looking for a download resource for Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 or any alternative solution that would allow me to proceed with the installation of topy. If anyone has encountered a similar issue and found a solution, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share it with me.

Environment Information
Operating System: Windows 10
Python Version: 2.7.18 (Anaconda environment)
