[issue23121] pip.exe breaks if python 2.7.9 is installed under c:\Program Files\Python

[Joshua Ellinger]

New submission from Joshua Ellinger:

The problem is that the python path name is quoted if it contains spaces.  The launcher does not remove the extra quotes and fails.

I 'solved' by editing the pip.exe to remove the quotes.

ps - Windows programs are normally installed under c:\Program Files or c:\Program Files (x86).  That should be the default in the installer if possible.
