pip does not exist or could not be executed within virtualenv

When trying to use pip to install flask within a virtual environment, I get the following error:

>(venv)username@Username-MacBook-Air ~/G/L/flaskTest> pip install Flask
>Failed to execute process '/Users/User/Google Drive/flaskTest/venv/bin/pip'. Reason:
>The file '/Users/username/Google Drive/flaskTest/venv/bin/pip' does not exist or could not         be executed.

Is there any reason why this is happening?

Just had the same problem, which led me here. I had just created a new virtual environment and got that error. Like you, I had an ancestor directory with a space in it. After renaming the directory to eliminate the space, everything worked fine. (Someday I'll track down the bug!) Try changing "Google Drive" to "google_drive" or "GoogleDrive", etc.

First, try install a new and clean virtual environment.

If not work, try installing pip, with easy_install pip
