Install Tick 0.7.0.1 on Windows 10/11 with Python 3.9

[lgoix]

Tested with python versions :

• 3.9.13
• 3.9.0

Swig:

• version 4.1.1 installed and in env variable Path

OS:

• Windows 10
• Windows 11

Visual Studio Build Tools 2022:

• 17.4.3

Previously installed:

numpy==1.23.1 | numpy==1.24.1
scipy==1.9.0
matplotlib==3.6.3
pandas==1.4.3
scikit-learn==1.2.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Download the zip archive from the current master (75d252d): https://github.com/X-DataInitiative/tick/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
2. Download cereal archive from: https://github.com/USCiLab/cereal/archive/51cbda5f30e56c801c07fe3d3aba5d7fb9e6cca4.zip
3. Inject in the zip file the missing cereal include files:

• copy directory cereal-51cbda5f30e56c801c07fe3d3aba5d7fb9e6cca4-1.zip\cereal-51cbda5f30e56c801c07fe3d3aba5d7fb9e6cca4\include\ in tick-master.zip\tick-master\lib\third_party\cereal\

4. Save the tick-master.zip file and then install it: pip install tick-master.zip

When we test Tick, we have the DLL issue:
python -c "import tick;"

File "C:\repos\project\venv\lib\site-packages\tick\array\build\array.py", line 10, in <module>
from . import _array
ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _array: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

Workaround

Instead of using the latest version on master, we have been able to build Tick following the same procedure using an older commit (May 23, 2020) version: 73acead
