PIP install error
#4
Quote:PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied

This is a windows operating system issue.  It's not a bug, just a permission error.
Windows (as do all other Operating Systems) allows you to be able yo write to some directories,
and not to others. The error is saying that pip is not allowed to write to the specified directory, which
is odd because you said you had just installed python.

do the following:
open a windows command prompt (click start, and type cmd)
in the command window type cd c:\program files (x86)\python36-32\Lib\site-packages\
I believe windows now emulates the Linux ls command, so nest type: la -latr
report what you get for results
Note, to copy text in cmd do the following:
  • right click in cmd window
  • select Mark
  • highlight text
  • Press enter
you can then paste to a notepad window with ctrl-v,
and to a forum post with shift-ctrl-v
