Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process

Question

Searching the net this seems to be a problem caused by spaces in the Python installation path.

How do I get pip to work without having to reinstall everything in a path without spaces ?

Answer 1

Instead of calling ipython directly, it is loaded using Python such as

$ python "full path to ipython.exe"

Answer 2

i had same issue and did a pip upgrade using following and now it works fine. python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Answer 3

My exact problem was (Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"') on windows 10. So I navigated to the "C:\Python33\Lib\site-packages" and deleted django folder and pip folders then reinstalled django using pip and my problem was solved.

Answer 4

Try reinstall by using the below link,

Download https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py

After download, copy the "get-pip.py" to python installed main dirctory, then open cmd and navigate to python directory and type "python get-pip.py" (without quotes)

Note: Also make sure the python directory is set in the environmental variable.

Hope this might help.
