Hi Mosh & guys, I am following in the python course in a window’s environment. I get an error on pipenv while installing requests. Tried to reinstall latest python, pip, pipenv & required dependencies, and also checked the path in system variables all point correctly to python39 folder.

Any advise on resolving the error below?  
Thanks.

PS C:\Users\Young\Documents\Hello World\> pipenv install requests
