I am trying to install IPython 5.0 for python 2.7 on Windows 10 using pip like this in cmd propmpt:

C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install IPython==5.0

But its failing and showing some error which I dont know how to resolve.Error:

Command "c:\python27\python.exe -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;file='c:\users\vishal\appdata\local\temp\pip-build-sfsbeq\scandir\setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(file);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, file, 'exec'))" install --record c:\users\vishal\appdata\local\temp\pip-auxpgu-record\install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in c:\users\vishal\appdata\local\temp\pip-build-sfsbeq\scandir\

Previously I have installed other packages such as numpy using pip command and it worked fine.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

First take a look at the answer enter link description here.

I'm trying to install iPython on windows, too. The difference is that I'm targeting the newest version (no matter which). I met with the same error, but before it I got another message:

error: Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 is required. Get it from http://aka.ms/vcpython27

Just download and install the package mentioned above, and retry

pip install ipython

Hooray!
