I already fixed this, but I will post the question anyways and answer it so if there are other people having this issue they may find this.
I installed blender a while ago and did some stuff using python. I can't recall what exactly I did, it was for a school project. However, when I recently tried to use pip to install something I got the following message:
Error in launcher: Unable to create process when using "path to python my blender folder"
Even if you get this answer due to another situation my solution might still help you.
This worked for me:
First I uninstalled Blender.
Then I uninstalled python and reinstalled the newest version.
I deleted every environment variable path I could find leading to an old python version.
In the Terminal I entered where pip and still got some paths leading to old python versions, I went to these locations and deleted every folder labeled with an old python version, in my case these locations were C:\Python37and C:\Users\myusername\Appdata\Roaming\Python
And that's it. After that pip worked as it should.

Good morning everyone,
MacBook Air 2017.
I am new to code, and I have just started to learn a few lines of Python. I had installed version 3.8 a few months ago, and now I have started learning a bit more seriously. I found out about the pip command, but trying to install the docx pip through "pip install python-docx" showed me an error.
To be completely honest, I started to watch on the internet how to fix this problem, but I didn't really understand what I was doing. I tried to install Pyenv to somehow correct the error by making Python 3.9.4 the default version for the Mac, following this website https://opensource.com/article/19/5/python-3-default-mac. I tried to modify the .bash trough "touch ~/.bash_profile; open ~/.bash_profile", hoping this would somehow fix the issue following How do I edit $PATH (.bash_profile) on OSX?. In the end, I just decided to uninstall both 3.8 and 3.9.4 to somehow start again through https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/284824/remove-and-reinstall-python-on-mac-can-i-trust-these-old-references, but nothing happened. At this moment in time, I have no clue what happened and if somehow I have made things even worse (which I probably did).
Right now, whenever I use any command with pip an error comes up, and I don't know how to fix it in order to be able to use modules & pip in Python. The error could be the same as the following one that I have attached to the post, which comes up after writing commands in terminal:

Thanks a lot, Bye.
it might be a pathing issue since the first error I got on script was the pygame module not existing and after trying to install the module on the terminal i keep getting a DEPRECATION message saying python 2.7 reached the end of it's life.......
I'm trying to figure out how to set my atom text editor path right and figure out how to use pip 3 on the terminal any advice on what to do?
just for context this was all working until sometime ago. I haven't downloaded anything since then.
Have u tried simply uninstalling python and reinstalling the newest version? Had this issue some times when teaching python, and uninstalling + reinstalling plus considering the correct environment variable path ( https://discuss.atom.io/t/running-python-on-atom/49460) solved it always so far, good luck!
First off I would like to say that I am aware that this question has been asked before, however, none of the other posts have offered a solution that resolves the problem.
I am trying to use pandas-datareader to grab stock prices from the internet. I am using windows with python version 3.6. I first installed pandas-datareader from the console using
pip install pandas-datareader.
I then wrote a code which used the line
import pandas_datareader.data as web
It came back with the error
`ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas_datareader'
I tried to redownload pandas-datareader, just in case it didn't work the first time, but the console came back with "Requirement already satisfied" so that wasn't the problem.
From there I uninstalled pandas-datareader, and reinstalled it with
pip3 install pandas-datareader
I still got the same error message.
I was worried that it might have something to do with old versions of python installed on my computer so I deleted all files for python 2.7, but this did not help the issue. I restarted spyder and my computer and this did not help. I tried Jupiter notebook and this did not help either.
Now to take my investigation one step further, I looked in my file folders at the hidden files to see where pandas-datareader could be hiding. When I go to C:\Users\J.Shepard\Anaconda3\pkgs and C:\Users\J.Shepard\Anaconda3\pkgs I see that pandas-0.23.0-py36h830ac7b_0 is installed but I cannot find anything that looks like pandas-datareader. In fact, when I search for "pandas-datareader" in my file search, I only see 2 text files with one line of code each. I do not know what to make of this discovery but I thought it might be helpful to someone else.
I hope that I have made a good case to prove that I have genuinely tried and failed to solve this problem on my own. Based on the number of other unresolved posts related to this same question, I believe that this is a question that deserves to be asked again.
I tried conda install pandas-datareader in Anaconda Prompt. It was installed and after my computer restarted, pandas-datareader worked in spyder 3.6.
I am trying to convert my .py file to an exe file. I've done it in the past but for some reason it isn't working anymore. I am using Python 2.7 and have other versions installed as well but my application won't work without 2.7. If I do python activityKivy.py it runs perfectly. I also tried with py2exe but was unsuccessful, it gave me too many dll warnings and would crash each time I open it. I prefer to stick with pyinstaller because thats what always worked for me. Some help would greatly be appreciates!

**Update: I wasn't able to figure out exactly what the problem was but I was playing around with my environment variables and changing my pip names to pip2 pip3 and thats when this problem started happening and even when I reverted all my changes it still showed me this.I was able to fix it by simply uninstalling pyinstaller and redownloading it.
I was trying out the HTML5 Game Engine Turbulenz, which requires Python to be installed on the machine. I downloaded and installed Python, and then I downloaded the installer for Turbulenz. In the middle of the installation, I get an error that says "Cannot find python.dll". After clicking ok, the installation continued, so I thought it was fine. When I tried to start Turbulenz, I got a new error, saying "env/Scripts/activate.bat" is missing. I Googled the error and found nothing relevant. I remembered the first error, and I went looking for python.dll. Turns out that it is in C:Python27/, where my Python installation is. Can anyone explain what is going on?
my honest guess is that you need to make sure that C:\Python27 is set up in your PATH variable. There's a video link on the official python docs that helps you get there
