plotly.py Long install time from windows.

When pip install plotly from a windows machine, it takes anywhere from a minute to 5 minutes. From linux it took no more than 10 seconds.

Thanks for the report. I've only tried the windows install on a VM so I wasn't sure what the real difference was. I'm wondering if it's related to compiling the *.pyc files, similar to the conda slowness reported in https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/issues/1175. Though I don't know why this would be so much slower on windows.

In that issue @fcollonval reported that the conda install from our plotly anaconda channel (which includes precompiled *.pyc files) took less than 20 seconds.

taking me forever to install on windows 10 with pip install dash, seems like plotly is taking up most of the time?

Same in my case. Windows 10 and plotly taking forever to install.

I've been trying to install for about 30 mins. It still hasn't finished. Should I cancel ? I am on Windows 10 Python 3.8.

That does seem like a long time... did it eventually succeed?

No I had to cancel it after 1 and 1/2 hours.

I also experienced this on Windows 10, Python 3.6.10, and after ~5 minutes I canceled it. However, I didn't get any error messages & plotly at least appears to be working fine; perhaps it's getting hung somewhere?

Same thing here. Using poetry on my mac, running poetry add plotly on an empty environment took about 30 seconds. Executing the same command on my windows 10 pro machine took about 5 minutes...
