Wow! That’s a weird error I’ve never seen before. A little bit of googling suggests that it might have to do with a broken Python installation: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17373265/pip-easy-install-failure-failed-to-create-process
If I were you, I might try looking at the output of: $ head -n1 `which beet` which should contain a path to the Python interpreter. Then I’d check if that exists—if not, it might be time to reinstall Python.
