[EdinyangaOttoho]

I am facing this issue too
No online hint has helped in all forums
I resorted to installing packages manually, but some still come up with the OS Error 09: Bad File Descriptor

[pfmoore]

When you say "I resorted to installing packages manually" what precisely did you do? Unpack the wheel and manually copy the files into place? Or something else?

And when you say "some still come up with the OS Error 09: Bad File Descriptor", again, what do you mean? That packages you "installed manually" give that error? When? When you import them?

This issue seems like it's affecting multiple people, but there's so little information on how it occurs, or how to reproduce it, that there's nothing much we can do until someone supplies more information.

I installed python on my D drive and it fixed the error completely,

so try changing the location for the installation of python to some other drive and see if it works

[malcolmdurosaye]

I experienced same error for two weeks but couldn't find solution.
So, I tried to partition my hard drive (C:) and created a new volume (D:). I then installed python in the D:\ path and boom!. It works perfectly right now.

First think, check the script folder is empty, if folder is empty ensure the pip first use this command "python -m ensurepip" then check that folder it have some pip .exe files then will try "PIP install *" .or other wise change the directory.
