Python interpreter path containing whitespaces fails to execute #24797
Description
Type: Bug
Behaviour
In previous versions, the interpreter could be in paths with whitespaces, as it was enclosed by quotes. In this latest version, this is not the case, and it results in an error.
Steps to reproduce:
- Set up a virtual environment with a path that includes a whitespace.
- Try running it.
