Can this be installed in a non-system directory? Python is on the list of system environmental variables.

C:\Programs Dump\Cathy_catho-main>python setup.py install
running install
running build
running build_py
creating build
creating build\lib
creating build\lib\catho
copying catho\catho.py -> build\lib\catho
copying catho\db.py -> build\lib\catho
copying catho\file.py -> build\lib\catho
copying catho\utils.py -> build\lib\catho
copying catho_init_.py -> build\lib\catho

interesting I have not tried this in windows but from the message it seems the issue is because of the space in "Program Files", can you try to get it installed in virtualenv in a dir without spaces to see if it works?
