steem python environment setup on windows

ill try to retrace my steps

[anaconda distribution](https://www.anaconda.com/download/)

`pip3 install steem` - threw some errors

My laptop is a cheap used one and does not have much hard drive space and the install required visual studio (5bg i dont have spare).

then i found prebuilt libraries at:
[Python extension page](https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/)
requirements: 
ujson
curses

scrypt required conda package manager to fetch a prebuilt binary so it need not compile:
`conda install -c conda-forge scrypt`

Pycrypto for GMP or MIPS math with pip3 (i think)\
[pycrypto](https://www.dlitz.net/software/pycrypto/)
or maybe i used 
`python setup.py install`

[SteemitDevportal tutorials](https://github.com/steemit/devportal-tutorials-py)

spyder ide wont run any code since `curses` requires a command prompt

[testnet quickstart](https://developers.steem.io/quickstart/#quickstart-testnet)
testnets
https://testnet.steem.vc - https://steemit.com/@almost-digital - no snapshot of main net
https://condenser.steem.vc - not working
[Steemd](https://testnet.steemd.com) - working, has snapshot of main net
[Steemitdev condensor](https://condensertestnet.steemitdev.com) - was working but just tried it an no connect
[Steemtest](https://steemtest.com) - not working

i managed to create an account [full instructions](https://testnet.steem.vc)
https://httpie.org
`http post https://testnet.steem.vc/create username=foo password=barman`
but i dont know how to use it since the condensor doesnt work and no keys are provided

and this is about where I'm upto

Thanks for documenting your steps thus far. 

If you've got an older computer, you might find that a Linux distribution would run better. It would also have everything you need to get conda or anaconda running beautifully. 

If you're new to Linux and coming from Windows, Ubuntu is a good place to start. You'll find instructions to get going here:
https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop

Thanks again, and best of luck!
