Question

I am trying to install virtualenv with Python 3.6 version under Windows 10.When I run \"pip install virtualenv\" I\'m getting this error. I am a newbie to Python.

Answer 1

Try uninstalling pip and installing get-pip.py. It appears to be a bug in the 3.6 version for Windows. https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/3964
