"PyXML" contains extensions written in "C".
When you build "PyXML" yourself, these extensions need to be compiled.
To be compatible with Python, these compilations need to use essentially
the same compiler as the one used for Python. Your observed error:
The required compiler (version 6 of Visual Studio) is not available on
your system.

Almost surely, there are prebuilt "PyXML" binaries for Windows.
Your easiest option is to install one of them
and do not try to build "PyXML" yourself.
