C:\Program Files\Python311\python.exe: can't open file 'C:\\Program': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
When i try to debug my project I am seeing the following error.
```
* Serving Flask app 'app'
* Debug mode: on
WARNING: This is a development server. Do not use it in a production deployment. Use a production WSGI server instead.
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000

C:\Program Files\Python311\python.exe: can't open file 'C:\\Program': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
Process finished with exit code 2
```
Debugging till the point where this error shows up on the console, i have discovered that python subprocess Popen() cannot work with paths that have spaces in them like "C:\Program Files"
I am not 100% sure about this because it is difficult to debug built in library subprocess.
Debugging the project worked fine earlier. It started breaking all of a sudden.

I'm using Python 3.10 and started getting this error today.
Pycharm has shipped a faulty product
you will need to install pycharm in such a way that there are no spaces in the path to pydev.py
Mine was C:/Program Files/PyCharm Community Edition/plugins/python-ce/helpers/pydev/pydevd.py
there was spaces in Program Files/PyCharm Community Edition/...
i have now installed pycharm in such a way that there are no spaces
C:/Users/<user>/PyCharm/plugins/python-ce/helpers/pydev/pydevd.py
Another workaround:
I created a directory junction.
And then run PyCharm at C:\PyCharm\bin\pycharm64.exe
Juangabriel's answer steered me in the correct direction. After I created the junction (Community Edition 2023.1), I took one more step of edited the desktop shortcut to have a target of C:\PyCharm\bin\pycharm64.exe. I used to have to do this back in my Java days, too. I guess every version upgrade I'll just have to go back and update the junction to point to the newer directory.
I'm using Python 3.11 and started getting this error today.
Updated the PyCharm version to: PyCharm 2023.1.4 this morning and the problem is still not resolved.
Same issue on Community Edition
PyCharm 2023.1.4 (Community Edition)
Build #PC-231.9225.15, built on July 11, 2023
Runtime version: 17.0.7+10-b829.16 amd64
Have the same problem. Directory junction helped.
Downgrading Flask and Werkzeug from 2.3.2 to 2.0.3 fixed the problem for me.
I uninstalled pycharm and installed it in a path without space (C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Programs\Pycharm), all went well.
By the way, manually installed pycharm can also be recognized by jetbrains toolbox.
PyCharm 2023.1.4 (Community Edition)
Build #PC-231.9225.15, built on July 12, 2023
I reinstalled my pycharm this version to space less path “C:\Users\syedh\PyCharm Community Edition 2023.1.2”
Still getting same error. What am i missing?
I am JS developer, start python flask project 1 week ago.
Hasanbadsha creating a directory junction to the source of PyCharm worked out for me. Just as Juangabriel Lorenzo wrote.
1. Open cmd.exe.
2. Run `mklink /J C:\PyCharm "C:\Path\To\Your\PyCharm Community or Professional Edition 2022.3.2"`
3. Run pycharm `C:\PyCharm\bin\pycharm.bat`.
Perhaps symlink could also work, but i didn't test it.
I solved the problem by following this link: https://stackoverflow.com/a/44668958/3670782
1. use `mklink` command created link path.
2. change flask parameter debug=True to debug=False
Juangabriel Lorenzo 's solution worked
Had the same problem and Wildr Slimshady 's solution worked! Thanks
