PIP message: Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"'

[Paul Moore]

Have you done any research (google, for example) and tried any of the
suggested solutions on the web?

>From a quick search, I'd suggest:

1. Can you confirm if "python -m pip <whatever command you're trying>"
has the same error?
2. What is the exact path of the pip executable you're running, and if
you go into the Python prompt and do "import pip; print(pip.__file__)"
what is the result?

It sounds like you have some sort of incorrectly set up environment
with your pip executable being somehow inconsistent with your Python
environment.

Please confirm the *precise* versions of Python and pip you're
(currently) using which give the error. Also, please confirm that you
get the same errors if you're in a different (empty) directory -
sometimes what's in the current directory can mess things up.
