Wow that is a very compelling argument that I am hesitant to raise a counter point against. But I feel I would at least like to understand better. 
So why does this issue not affect the interpreter in the venv itself, only pip and easy_install, or other such tools with-in the venv? It seems to me that the activate script gets around this somehow for the interpreter, as it ran fine in the directory with a space in the name. Is it possible to apply the same fix action to at least pip since it will be included in venv once 3.4 is final, for a better user experience, or at least less user complaints?

In the meantime, I will fix my directory to use underscores instead of spaces. Thank you for your time.
