I assumed this should be working out of the box, but ...
i've pasted pip.log on pastbin the last few lines of error message is
e:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\BIN\amd64\cl.exe /c /nologo /Ox /MD /W3 /GS- /DNDEBUG -DWITH_COMPAT=1 -DCOMPRESS_MF_MT=1 -Isrc/sdk -IC:\Python27\include -IC:\Python27\PC /Tcsrc\7zip\C\AesOpt.c /Fobuild\temp.win-amd64-2.7\Release\src\7zip\C\AesOpt.obj /MT

error: command '"e:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\BIN\amd64\cl.exe"' failed with exit status 2
via google search i found that wmmintrin.h is one of the headers comes with vc 10.0, i've installed visual studio 2010 ( contains vc 10.0 ), what i need to do is copy this file over ?
isn't pip install something supposed to be simple and painless ?
edit: i tried to copy this file into vc9's include path, but came across several different errors
i have read this Installing/compiling pylzma (lzma python binding)
it seems author has fix what in the setup.py and .c file already. i saw the /MANIFEST flag and Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS and Sha256_Init(&sha) have been moved after variable declarations:
edit2: it seems vs2008(vc9) doesn't support the compiler intrinsics as seen in the error log, after i installed vs2008 sp1, it compiles without any error ... see log
