Current Behavior

Hey there,

currently this tool cannot be invoked via pipx, if pipx bases its virtual environments in a path that contains spaces, which is the default on mac, as per the mac documentation. This is the case since pipx 1.3.

The solution is to provide a entry point, see the pipx docs.

As you recommend installing this tool via pipx, it would be great if you could update your package accordingly.

Thanks!

based on pypa/pipx#1212

Expected Behavior

Entrypoint available so the package can be installed correctly, even if the venv is in a path with spaces.

Context

This was reported in pipx under this issue: pypa/pipx#1226

Possible Solutions

Provide an entrypoint definition.

Steps to reproduce

1. Set the PIPX_HOME environment variable to a path with spaces
2. pipx install ranger-fm
3. ranger -> fails because the shebang of the ranger executable contains a space

This strictly sounds like a Pipx issue. It should escape paths it injects properly.

If this remains an issue I'd drop the Pipx recommendation instead.

It's a pip issue, actually. pipx has nothing to do with these files. This problem also occurs if a user manually installs ranger via pip into a venv that resides in a path with spaces.

We've since moved the default pipx install location on mac to a path without spaces and print a warning whenever a user has installed pipx in a path with spaces.
