Installing hiredis fails after upgrading to Python 3.8

[weibeu]

While installing hiredis after upgrading to Python 3.8, I am getting error saying error: command 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2019\\BuildTools\\VC\\Tools\\MSVC\\14.23.28105\\bin\\HostX86\\x64\\cl.exe' failed with exit status 2.
I tried reinstalling Visual Studio Build tools again even after i had it installed (version 14.23) but it didn't worked. Following is the full traceback:

error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required.

Should be fixable by providing a wheel for Python 3.8.

I am facing with the same problem.

May I expect that there will be an updated version with Python 3.8's wheels?

@mozesa Try v1.0.1 https://pypi.org/project/hiredis/1.0.1/#files
Be careful that tests running on AppVeyor Windows and Python 3.8 are failing, see #93 (comment)

It works! Thanks for your prompt help.
