Description
pipreqs on Windows 10,Python3.11, fails to resolve packages installed in a global Python path like C:\Program Files\Python311\Lib\site-packages due to space in the directory name. Even with --use-local or setting PYTHONPATH, packages are not resolved locally.
Contributor guide

Reproduce pipreqs on Windows 10 with Python 3.11 and packages under C:\Program Files\Python311\Lib\site-packages. Compare behavior with --use-local and PYTHONPATH; done when locally installed packages are resolved despite the space in the global path.
