How to install cython an Anaconda 64 bits with Windows 10?

Ok I solved the problem on Windows 10 with Anaconda using python 3.6.5 and MSC v.1900 64 bit (informations given by running :

import sys
sys.version

so here is the method:

1: install cython by running conda install -c anaconda cython in Anaconda prompt

2: go in C:\Users\Utilisateur\Anaconda3\Lib\distutils or wherever your distutils library is the create a distutils.cfg file (by using the notepad) and put

[build]           
compiler=mingw32 

in it

3: get the latest version of Mingw-w64 (not just Mingw which support just 32 bits) at https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/ and install it

4: add C:\Program Files (x86)\mingw-w64\i686-8.1.0-posix-dwarf-rt_v6-rev0\mingw32\bin to your Path here is a link on how to do that on windows 10: https://www.architectryan.com/2018/03/17/add-to-the-path-on-windows-10/

5: install libpython and m2w64-toolchain in your anaconda envirement by running conda install -c anaconda libpython and conda install -c msys2 m2w64-toolchain It come from these webpage https://python-at-risoe.pages.windenergy.dtu.dk/compiling-on-windows/common_errors.html and should correct the corresponding errors

6: try the first or second test on this page http://docs.cython.org/en/latest/src/quickstart/build.html both were working for me after step 5

Hope it will help!
