3537	netifaces requires vcpython27	sajith	sajith	"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.
