Hi

I tried installing ipykernel on PyPy for Python 2 on a windows machine with the command.

pypy -m pip install ipykernel

and I get the following error.

C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual C++ for Python\9.0\VC\Bin\link.exe /DLL /nologo /INCREMENTAL:NO /LIBPATH:C:\Users\John\pypy2-v5.9.0-win32\libs /EXPORT:init_scandir build\temp.win32-2.7\Release\_scandir.obj /OUT:build\lib.win32-2.7\_scandir.pypy-41.pyd /IMPLIB:build\temp.win32-2.7\Release\_scandir.pypy-41.lib /MANIFEST /MANIFESTFILE:build\temp.win32-2.7\Release\_scandir.pypy-41.pyd.manifest

----------------------------------------

Command "C:\Users\John\pypy2-v5.9.0-win32\pypy.exe -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='c:\\users\\john\\appdata\\local\\temp\\pip-build-xxehts\\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\john\appdata\local\temp\pip-60jyok-record\install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in c:\users\john\appdata\local\temp\pip-build-xxehts\scandir\

Does anyone know what needs to be done to prevent this error from happening? Is anyone able to perform this command on windows without getting the error.

Thanks
