I was trying to install python tool for visual studio 2015, well it should have been an easy task just go on new project and choose python and visual studio would have downloaded it for you, but there some error coming or what is it i don't understand. What i am doing is as follows: Step 01: I went here.

Step 02: A box appears seeking for the permission to install.(It is says add support for python projects, support, debugging and more) and When I click on the install button step 03 window appears.

Step 03: This error comes up and nothing happens.

What should i Do? And yeah i need to install cpython.

As of writing, the current release for Python Tools for Visual Studio 2015 is version 2.2, and can be downloaded here. Other releases, including development releases and versions for older versions of Visual Studio can be found here.

In order to install the tools, you should just download the MSI for your Visual Studio version and execute it. The installer will guide you through everything. Once it’s done, you just need to restart Visual Studio once and the tools will be available.

You also need a Python interpreter, which you can find on python.org.
