[issue20622] Python3.3 venv pip fails to run if path contains spaces

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo added the comment:

Due to the way the shell or kernel parses the shebang, you can’t have spaces in the path to the interpreter:

The solution is to separate your virtualenv from the directory containing your code.  (virtualenvwrapper works in that way for example.)  virtualenv’s job is to have a copied Python with an isolated site-packages; it does not matter whether the Python is in your project directory (./bin/python) or anywhere else (~/venvs/strategist/bin/python).
