Giving the errors you are receiving will make it easier for us to help you. pastebin is a good site for posting errors then you can link it here.

Someone (you?) emailed me about this yesterday and I did a bit of searching. Can you install py-bcrypt through pip? It seems to be a weird edge case with Windows. You may have to do some string encoding that we didn't have to do in the course.

I solved the problem by installing python 2.7 and installed c++ compiler 2010 then it allowed me to correctly install bcrypt. Anyways thanks a lot and sorry for any problems that i caused!. :)
