Pip - Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"'
ampps, pip, python, python-3.x, windows
Solution
I fixed my issue by...
- downloading Python 3 at the official website and installing it via express installation
- Copy & Paste the standalone python into the ampps/python folder and overwriting the python version provided by AMPPS
- running `python -m pip install --upgrade pip` in cmd
Now pip and python 3 are installed in their latest version.
It seems that AMPPS doesnt't provide a full-fledged python build. So you need to update python yourself.
Thanks to y'all.
Problem
I installed python 3.5.1 via ampps and it's working. However, when i try to use pip, i get the following message: ``` Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"' ``` I already reinstalled ampps into a path which doesn't include any whitespaces. Note that the "python -m pip" workaround doesn't work for me too, since i get the following message everytime i use it: ``` C:\Users\MyUserName\Desktop\Ampps\python\python.exe: Error while finding spec for 'pip.__main__' (<class 'ImportError'>: No module named 'queue'); 'pip' is a package and cannot be directly executed ``` How do i get pip to work properly? I hope, there is a way to use the pip command itself without the preceding python command. EDIT: This is what happens, if i try to run `python -c "import pip.__main__"`: ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\MyUserName\Desktop\Ampps\python\lib\site-packages\pip\compat\__init__.py", line 11, in <module> from logging.config import dictConfig as logging_dictConfig File "C:\Users\MyUserName\Desktop\Ampps\python\lib\logging\config.py", line 30, in <module> import logging.handlers File "C:\Users\MyUserName\Desktop\Ampps\python\lib\logging\handlers.py", line 28, in <module> import queue ImportError: No module named 'queue' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\Users\MyUserName\Desktop\Ampps\python\lib\site-packages\pip\__init__.py", line 13, in <module> from pip.utils import get_installed_distributions, get_prog File "C:\Users\MyUserName\Desktop\Ampps\python\lib\site-packages\pip\utils\__init__.py", line 18, in <module> from pip.compat import console_to_str, stdlib_pkgs File "C:\Users\MyUserName\Desktop\Ampps\python\lib\site-packages\pip\compat\__init__.py", line 13, in <module> from pip.compat.dictconfig import dictConfig as logging_dictConfig File "C:\Users\MyUserName\Desktop\Ampps\python\lib\site-packages\pip\compat\dictconfig.py", line 22, in <module> import logging.handlers File "C:\Users\MyUserName\Desktop\Ampps\python\lib\logging\handlers.py", line 28, in <module> import queue ImportError: No module named 'queue' ```
