Azure-sdk-for-python: Pip installation failure

[cjemmott]

When I run

pip install azure
I get the failure:

  Found existing installation: azure-mgmt-iothubprovisioningservices 0.1.0
    Uninstalling azure-mgmt-iothubprovisioningservices-0.1.0:
Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\cjemmott\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pip-uninstall-zx6wxpwi\\users\\cjemmott\\appdata\\roaming\\python\\python36\\site-packages\\azure\\mgmt\\iothubprovisioningservices\\models\\__pycache__\\shared_access_signature_authorization_rule_access_rights_description.cpython-36.pyc'

Just to be safe I ran pip uninstall azure and pip uninstall azure-storage first.

Windows 10, Python 3.6.5 :: Anaconda, pip 18.0.

Any ideas?

Might be a long path issue, did you enable long path support?

Nailed it!

For the next person, here are detailed instructions for enabling in Windows 10: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27680647/does-max-path-issue-still-exists-in-windows-10
