Pipenv error “No Python at ‘C:Python39python.exe’ “

I installed and added Python3.9 and Pip to the PATH through the installer.

python --version
# Python 3.9.7
pip --version
# pip 21.2.4 from C:Users{MyUserName}AppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython39libsite-packagespip (python 3.9)

I installed pipenv with pip install pipenv and pipenv --version outputs pipenv, version 2021.5.29. Although, if I try to install any package with pipenv, or just enter the pipenv shell and then run python --version, I always get No Python at 'C:Python39python.exe'.

Python sys path is C:Users{MyUserName}AppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython39, so why does pipenv look into another folder? And how can I fix this?

I’m running all these commands in git bash.

Answer

I solved this by manually creating C:Python39 and copying python.exe there. Now it works fine.
