New submission from Lysandros Nikolaou <lisandros...@gmail.com>:
At the moment running python -m venv venv or python3 -m venv venv creates a virtual environment that does not contain a python<major>.<minor> symlink, which results in executing whatever the default python is when running i.e. python<major>.<minor> within an activated virtual env. OTOH if one runs python<major>.<minor> -m venv venv, then everything is OK. Would it be possible to include a python<major>.<minor> symlink in all cases? If not, then I think we should update the docs to mention that somewhere, since it took me quite a while to figure this out. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 361993 nosy: lys.nikolaou priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: venv does not include python<major>.<minor> symlink by default versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39633> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
