Hello everyone,
I am a complete newbie in pymc, and after listening to @AlexAndorra non-stop in his podcast about the marvelous of such a package, I took confidence and decided to start doing some analysis using it.
Well, things started on the wrong foot. After a naive, and lazy, installation using pip for pymc3 that didn´t work, I uninstalled it and started reading the docs. Finding the instructions on how to install in Windows 10 under anaconda in: Installation — PyMC dev documentation , just creating a new environment and voila… well in theory.
Unfortunately, didn´t work, even after I updated anaconda, conda and everything else, including the last Windows update. 
Just running:
import pymc
I got an error preventing starting anything:
starting from:
File ~\anaconda3\envs\pymc_env\lib\site-packages\pymc_init_.py:118, in
114 aesara.config.gcc__cxxflags = augmented
117 if sys.platform == “win32”:

119 __set_compiler_flags()
121 from pymc import gp, ode, sampling
until:
File ~\anaconda3\envs\pymc_env\lib\site-packages\numpy\distutils\mingw32ccompiler.py:28, in

Help !
