While pip installing rdap
according to instructions, I get the following error:
Collecting rdap Using cached
https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/76/8f/38ebde98eecf836c57727faccaef3b10be44ddfe9b2f5192b789e1792d89/rdap-0.5.0.tar.gzCould not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [WinError 267]
Nom de rÚpertoire non valide:

the error message translates: "folder name not valid". Here is the result of IPython.sys_info()
:

I don't understand what's going on with this error. I'm admin of my computer. I can successfully get any other package installed without error. According to SO user response, might be linked with a forbidden :
character. Confirm the problem?
Thanks for the report, we'll have to find a windows box to test it on, can you confirm you did pip install rdap
?
yes that's what I did, and I tried several variations with no-cache, admin, etc. tried it on python 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7
indeed, working now on my computer. Thanks for the reactivity.
