## Using the Python package on Windows
The Python package (either from PyPI or https://www.klayout.org/downloads/master/) needs some 3rd party libraries to be functional:
1.) Download the 3rd party package from https://www.klayout.org/downloads/klayout-bits-1.0.zip
2.) Unzip (e.g. under ```c:\klayout-bits-1.0```)
3.) Install klayout package (here: from PyPI)
```pip install klayout```
4.) Add the 3rd-party packages to the path (sorry, lengthy):
```
set PATH=C:\klayout-bits-1.0\msvc2017\x64\curl\bin;c:\klayout-bits-1.0\msvc2017\x64\expat\bin;c:\klayout-bits-1.0\msvc2017\x64\ptw\bin;c:\klayout-bits-1.0\msvc2017\x64\zlib\bin;%PATH%
```
## Building with ```setuptools```
