Unofficial fasttext Python 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8 pre-compiled wheel files for Windows.

Important Note: These downloads require that you first install Visual C++ Redistributable from Microsoft: vc_redist.x64.exe. Otherwise your Python code will crash when you try to use them.

If you want to re-compile these yourself instead of using binaries you randomly downloaded off the internet, it is pretty easy. You just need to follow these steps:

1. Install Visual Studio Community Edition with the "Desktop development with C++" workload selected.
2. Install pybind11: pip install pybind11
3. Make sure you have wheel installed: pip install wheel
4. Clone fastText from git and check out the version you want to build: git branch -b v0.9.1 0.9.1
5. In the root folder of the fasttext code, run python setup.py bdist_wheel. That will write the wheel file to the ./dist/ subfolder.
6. You can then install the wheel file with pip or copy it to another computer to install there.
