python-ldap is a C module wrapping the OpenLDAP client libs. Therefore pip
install requires a C compiler if PyPI does not have binaries for your OS platform.

I don't have a working build environment for Windows.
In former times Waldemar contributed installable Windows binaries.

This is true for all pure Python modules.
For all C or C++ wrapper modules you need a compiler.

Ciao, Michael.
