Python pytype installation: Failed building wheel for pytype, Could not build wheels for pytype which use PEP 517

I am trying to install Python static type checker Pytype on Windows 10 and am receiving this error

pytype/typegraph/cfg.cc(1450): error C2143: syntax error: missing ';' before '}'
pytype/typegraph/cfg.cc(1450): error C2059: syntax error: '}'
error: command 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2019\\BuildTools\\VC\\Tools\\MSVC\\14.28.29910\\bin\\HostX86\\x64\\cl.exe' failed with exit code 2
----------------------------------------
ERROR: Failed building wheel for pytype
Failed to build pytype
ERROR: Could not build wheels for pytype which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly

I installed C++ build objects, wheel and attempted the following --no-binary, but it didn't work.

pip install wheel 
py -m pip install  pytype --no-binary :all

Any idea how to resolve this, and install pytype?

Solution

Windows platform is currently not supported by pytype, as described on pytype GitHub page under Requirements section. The only alternative is to use WSL.
