This appears to be somehow caused by running Python 3.7.4 from an active virtualenv (which I'd forgotten I had active when I did the test). Regardless, I'd have expected that the command would either correctly create a venv containing pip, or fail to create the venv at all. Creating an incomplete venv is extremely confusing for the user, if nothing else. It looks like this is *not* a regression - it's been like this since 3.6.8 at least. Actually, the created venv looks pretty broken to me - it has the *parent* environment in `sys.path`, but does not have its *own* environment there: >.\ve-368a\Scripts\python.exe Python 3.6.8 (tags/v3.6.8:3c6b436a57, Dec 24 2018, 00:16:47) [MSC v.1916 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> sys.path ['', 'C:\\Work\\Scratch\\vv\\ve-368a\\Scripts\\python36.zip', 'C:\\Users\\UK03306\\.virtualenvs\\f1980c81dac32d4\\DLLs', 'C:\\Users\\UK03306\\.virtualenvs\\f1980c81dac32d4\\lib', 'C:\\Users\\UK03306\\.virtualenvs\\f1980c81dac32d4\\Scripts', 'C:\\Utils\\PythonVersions\\Python-3.6.8\\Lib', 'C:\\Utils\\PythonVersions\\Python-3.6.8\\DLLs', 'C:\\Users\\UK03306\\.virtualenvs\\f1980c81dac32d4', 'C:\\Users\\UK03306\\.virtualenvs\\f1980c81dac32d4\\lib\\site-packages'] Note the lack of ve-368a directories, and the presence of a lot of directories from .virtualenvs (the parent environment). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38369> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
