Yes, you are right, let me append the message. Just after a fresh install of Python with PIP on Windows. Whenever I start PIP, I get: "Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"C:\Users \B├╝rgerGegenFlugl├ñrm\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32 \python.exe" "C:\Users\B³rgerGegenFluglõrm\AppData\Local\Programs\Python \Python35-32\Scripts\pip.exe" '" Where the correct path is "C:\Users\BürgerGegenFluglärm\AppData..." The funny thing is that the message mentions the path twice, with different wrong codings. :-( Thank you for your help. -- Stand up against TTIP and ISDS ! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
