Error creating virtual environment and using pip

Question

Everytime I try to use pip to do something

pip install <package>

I get an error

OSError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor

I tried installing and reinstalling anaconda. I'm currently trying to create a virtualenv from pycharm and can't seem to do so because of this error. I need some new packages for a new project and need a way around this.

If anyone faced similar circumstances or want more debug information regarding my system please leave a comment down below, I'd be happy to help!

Here's a full stack trace for the error I'm getting while using pip:

Can this be an issue with regarding python version? Currently using python 3.6.3 on Windows 10 and PyCharm 2017.3
