I keep getting this error when trying to pip install ipython on my Windows. pip worked for pandas and other libs.

I had similar issue. I changed the registry key "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\LongPathsEnabled" to 1.

The Windows Python installer allows you to change the maximum path length at install or upgrade and this will fix the problem. You can also lookup change maximum path length Win 10 to find out how to change the registry.

I had the same problem. For me it was, that the file path was too long. Rename things (for example the PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_3.7.1473.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0 stuff) to shorten the path.
