I think an option when creating the "venv" (something like "--bin-name bin", or "--use-bin") is enough. Whatever creates the environment also handles the fact that "bin" is on the "right" location now. If you don't control the venv creation, you just use the default, or accept a similar option. I would vote against having a environment variable or some kind of global setting, that will break backwards compatibility. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/ZCNTOSI4IHEX52I5TVB6QOF3VI4OX7EB/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
