title: Can't install IMDbPY on windows
body: <p>I'm having trouble installing IMDbPY on my windows computer. I think there is something wrong with my c compiler, because when I try to install it with easy_install or pip it gives me an error along these lines:</p>

  <p>Looking that error up, it seems people are usually recommended to install "python-dev", but as far as I can see that's just a linux package that I can't find for Windows.</p>
  
  <p>When I try the Windows executable (<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/imdbpy/files/IMDbPY/4.7/IMDbPY-win32-py2.7-4.7.exe/download?use_mirror=iweb&amp;download=" rel="nofollow">here</a>) it gives me what I assume is the same error, saying:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Runtime Error! R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C
    runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application's support
    team for more information.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So I'm getting pretty frustrated and thinking I'll just rig up something with BeautifulSoup, but if anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong I'd be very grateful.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot,
  Alex</p>
