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

一、问题

在windows10上通过pip安装requests报错

C:\Users\Administrator>pip install requests
Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"'

二、解决办法

前面加python -m

C:\Users\Administrator>python -m pip install requests
Requirement already satisfied: requests in c:\windows\lib\site-packages
Requirement already satisfied: chardet<3.1.0,>=3.0.2 in c:\windows\lib\site-packages (from requests)
Requirement already satisfied: certifi>=2017.4.17 in c:\windows\lib\site-packages (from requests)
Requirement already satisfied: urllib3<1.24,>=1.21.1 in c:\windows\lib\site-packages (from requests)
Requirement already satisfied: idna<2.8,>=2.5 in c:\windows\lib\site-packages (from requests)
You are using pip version 18.0, however version 19.0.3 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

这里提示pip需要更新，我们执行python -m pip install --upgrade pip命令更新：

C:\Users\Administrator>python -m pip install --upgrade pip

更新成功后，再执行pip install requests，发现已经OK了，可以直接跑了。
