Just a heads-up that latest setuptools is incompatible with numpy.distutils on Windows: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/728
For those who don't want to dig into the issues and pull requests, it seems that multiple libraries were patching different parts of distutils and adding extra quotes to the command line. This was apparently only occurring with Python 3.5.
The main reason I want to add to this post is that *Python 3.5 is still taking bugfixes*. If there is a problem in distutils, please report it to bugs.python.org first so we can fix it, and then look into monkeypatching the older versions.
