When I run

pipenv install django-oscar

I receive the following error:

Could not build wheels for oscar which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly

I am using Windows 10 Home 1909, Python 3.8, pipenv 2018.11.26, and VScode 1.52.1

I have looked at this similar problem, but there does not seem to be a solution. I have C++ build tools for Visual Studio 2019 installed.

Can anyone help me?

On other projects, not in django-oscar but in general, pipenv has given me a lot of problems in Windows. 

I went back to venv by default. With venv it works perfectly on Windows (I work with the same stack as you, except for the Windows version, I have pro 20h2)

Try to install wheels manually before  call django-oscar, pipenv permits use existeed virtualenv.
