Are you on Visual Studio Code?
If the answer is yes, than it might be the problem. Try reinstalling it and the PYTHON extension.
More info here.

Fixed, baruch Hashem! I:
Uninstalled python
Deleted the Lib folder in C:/User/user1/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python39 and C:/User/user1/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python310
Re-installed python.
It works!

No need to delete and reinstall Python completely when you are using virtual environments.
This is very useful to keep python environment separated from one project to another.
Just (re)create a new Python venv. Tested successfully. You can use Anaconda Navigator on Windows to do that easily.
On Linux, just run the following commands of a terminal: conda create --name py35 python=3.5 (here we specify the name of the venv to be py35 and we select Python 3.5 as default Python in the venv. Then run source activate py34 to activate the venv and source deactivate to go back to default one. More commands and info here | cheatsheet.

ValueError when trying to use pipenv install

I am totally new to this. So I installed pipenv using 'pip install pipenv'. I have python version 3.8.2, pip version 20.1.1 and pipenv version 2020.6.2 .
But when I try to run 'pipenv install' it gives the following error.

Thank you for your time.

I think the newer version of pipenv is causing the error, I use this command when having the same issue and it worked for me, just use
pip install pipenv==2018.10.13

I had the same problem when I uninstalled Anaconda. Mine got solved after I did the following steps
run regedit.exe
Go to
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Python\PythonCore
If there is/are folders having previous versions of python.Delete every version of python other than your current one(for eg.3.7, 3.8 etc. I also had to delete some folder containing something related to anaconda to solve the problem (other than the previous versions)

I was just struggling with a similar problem with pipenv that was giving me the same error messages.
WinError 2 has to do with corrupted files in one of your Python installs/uninstalls. I searched regedit for Anaconda3 to figure out which version of Python that I had previously installed or uninstalled was causing the problem.
For me, it was Python 3.6.5. I installed it in the same location as the path in the error message (in your case that would be D:/program_files/). Then, I just uninstalled it with the installation exe, and I stopped getting these error messages.

Have you tried the conda install command? To do this, go on your anaconda prompt, cd in the folder where you have installed your anaconda. Have a look at this.
conda install -c conda-forge pipenv
make sure you activate your environment before running the conda install command. To activate your environment run conda activate envname. I hope it helps!

Removed argparse.py

I use Ubuntu 18.04. By mistake, I changed argparse.py file in usr/lib/python3.6. I couldn't fix it and I thought to remove it, so I could reinstall. Now I can't reinstall, whenever I try "pip install argparse" I get an error like this:

Could you please help me to fix this?

argparse is part of the standard library, not a third-party module. The standard library is not managed via pip (that is both its blessing and its bane).
So you have to fix or reinstall python itself.

argparse is (since Python 3.2) part of the standard library. Just get the file from the official github (I'm assuming cpython, adapt the version as necessary by selecting the correct branch, the link is for python 3.8) and put it back where the one you deleted was

I have tried downgrading pip from (18.1 to 9.0.1) and also downgrading pipenv, it did not resolve the issue.
This stupid policy keeps telling to add more details, hence everything after this is only a filler.
I was so happy to publish my first package in pypa but then this stupid issue happened. I have wasted a lot of time already.

Manged to fix the issue temporarily by downgrading virtualenv -
pip install virtualenv==15.* --upgrade

Cant Launch Jupyter Notebook

Is a big thank you if anyone can help me solve this! :)
Feel free to drop any comment/suggestion. Thank you!!

First of all i recommend to re install anaconda again and to select the check box which says to Set Anaconda path in system so that you can use it from anywhere.
To make sure that we are going in right direction go to the bin/ in the anaconda folder.
once you are in bin you can see that there is a jupyter-notebook.exe thus execute it in the command prompt.
Also you can try using Anaconda Navigator to do the same thing.
You can also try running it as Administrator if there are any permission issues.
There have been changes in jupyter notebooks latest release so you can read the docs for more info
