This `httptools` is one of the dependencies of rasa. When we do `pip install rasa`, htttptools source is downloaded and then built using MS VC++. But somehow in Windows 10, it doesn’t happen. It fails miserably.

I am also facing this issue. Any help would be much appreciated. This isn’t some issue with rasa. It is an issue of Windows 10 and htttptools.
