Unable to create process using '"c:\bld\scrapy_1564674375870\_h_env\python.exe"

Question

I'm trying to install Scrapy with Anaconda

After downloading scrapy by command conda install -c conda-forge scrapy and then giving the path of Anaconda/Scripts to environmental variables, I'm getting following error:

    C:\Users\Rodzice.Mateusz-PC>scrapy
Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"c:\bld\scrapy_1564674375870\_h_env\python.exe"  "C:\Users\Rodzice.Mateusz-PC\Anaconda3\Scripts\scrapy.exe"

I'm getting this error in both cmd and Anaconda

Answer 1

python -m scrapy startproject papa

It works

I don't know why :)

Answer 2

Force reinstalling scrapy using pip solved the problem.

pip install --force-reinstall scrapy
