On Windows, pip won't update OpenCC to the latest 1.1.2 version, due to missing wheel file

Executing the command python -m pip install -U OpenCC will install OpenCC v1.1.1, but not the latest stable version 1.1.2.

After investigating the output of pip with a --verbose flag appended, it seems the problem originates from that pip tried to query https://pypi.org/simple/opencc/ for compatible wheel, ending up finding no compatible wheel for both Windows platform and v1.1.2.

I don't know what needs to be done to fix this, having no experience in writing and publishing C-extension Python library. Maybe we need to manually create and publish new wheel files?

After messing around in the issue tracker system, it seems that this problem has been lurking since the exposure in the two months' old issue #564.

This is still an issue for me today on macOS. Any update on this?
