Attempting "pip install -e ." after cloning the netifaces repo on WIndows 7 32-bit results in a compiler error in Python 2.7. Same for "pip install netifaces" and "easy_install netifaces". I did some looking around and found some answers that were less than optimal such as renaming netifaces.c -> netifaces.cpp (which broke the out of the box bui…
