Ronald Oussoren <ronaldousso...@mac.com> added the comment: The virtualenv (both using venv and using the third party library virtualenv) still relies on most of the python installation outside of the virtualenv, in particular the stdlib extensions. Those are not guartanteed to be binary compatible between feature releases (3.5 -> 3.6), but should be compatible with bug fix releases (3.6.1 -> 3.6.2).
Micro updates should work without breaking virtual environments, the venv doesn't include links to 3th party libraries by default (including openssl and the like). Doing larger upgrades of dependencies in micro updates can still break stuff though, but there's not much that the CPython team can do about that (unless we're doing incompatible updates of dependencies in the python.org installers). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32151> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
