Question

Hi so I was trying to pip install python-ldap using my git bash but at first it told me that i don\'t have cl.exe so i downloaded the visual studio

Answer 1

I had a similar issue.

I had installed a 32-bit python interpreter from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ mistakenly in my 64-bit windows machine.

Then I downloaded the correct 64-bit interpreter setup and installed it. Then I pointed the Pycharm interpreter path to it.

Then my issue was solved. I hope this will help you...
