NotADirectoryError: [Errno 20] when installing using PyCharm Project Interpreter

See original GitHub issue

I am encountering the following error when installing to my virtualenv using Project Interpreter from PyCharm Community Edition 4.5.3.

    ----------------------------------------

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pycharm-packaging0.tmp/spacy

Workaround is to manually install using venv/bin/pip3.4 install spacy. Not sure why that works vs using PyCharm to install it using pip.

Super simple temporary solution I totally should’ve seen sooner:

pip install headers_workaround
pip install spacy

This worked for me with PyCharm 5.0
