uwsgi installation error in windows 7

Question

Trying to install uwsgi according to documentation. I'm getting the below error on Windows 7.

What should I do?

(uwsgi-tutorial) C:\Users\Home\Videos\uwsgi-tutorial\mysite>pip install uwsgi
Collecting uwsgi
Using cached uwsgi-2.0.11.1.tar.gz
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

uWSGI can be compiled on Windows only using cygwin. There is no such thing as uname in normal Windows console, but it exists inside cygwin. If you're already in cygwin console, try to run uname command, if that exists, check if os.uname() in python inside cygwin is also working.
