How to install lxml for Python 3.5 under Windows 7 64bit?

Do I understand correctly that in order to install lxml for python 3.5, you also need to install Visual Studio (6-11 GB), without which lxml cannot compile any files normally (vcvarsall.bat error)?
I can't find an official resource with already compiled libs, and installing a dozen gigabytes of MVS for the sake of a 2 megabyte lib somehow doesn't please me at all.
There are ready-made assembly solutions on the internet, but for python 2.7 and 3.2, but I don’t want to downgrade.
There is still html5lib, and to score on lxml?
Actually, it is very surprising that for the most popular parser there is still no clear and simple installation procedure.

I recently had the same problem, only now I have Visual Studio installed, and the problem is the same, so it has nothing to do with it.
And on Linux everything works fine, so there is a problem in Windows.
