#3537: netifaces requires vcpython27
---------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  sajith   |          Owner:  sajith
     Type:  defect   |         Status:  new
 Priority:  normal   |      Milestone:  undecided
Component:  unknown  |        Version:  n/a
 Keywords:           |  Launchpad Bug:
---------------------+---------------------------
 I removed vcpython27 installation step from GitHub Actions in #3477, but
 missed the fact that netifaces has not published .whl packages for Python
 2.7 and 64-bit Windows combination.  This likely happened because
 netifaces was added after I created a branch for #3477.
