Traceback when trying to create an environment w/ interpreter specified by its path

Can’t create an environment with the Python interpreter specified on the command-line (don’t know if other options work since I only have py on my PATH).

Describe your environment

1. OS Type: Windows 10
2. Python version: 3.6.4
3. Pipenv version: 1.11.5

Expected result

A virtual environment is created.

Actual result

An exception was raised.

I think I’ve got it. The problem is not Windows-specific, but happens when you don’t have any python command available in PATH at all. Un*x systems typically always have a system-wide python, which is likely why no-one found out until now.

No problem about the breakage; I realize I’m trailblazing here. 😄 I’m happy to keep trying and filing issues as I come across them to help out, so no hard feelings at all on my end.

As for writing the test, I will see if I can find the time but I unfortunately can’t make any promises ATM (I’m still playing catch-up with stuff that backed up from our latest release of VS Code which added pipenv support 😉 ).
