Mariatta Wijaya  added the comment:

The PR was against master branch. So if backports are needed, you can add 
"needs backport to" labels on GH-5736 and the bot will take care of it.

I thought I saw the PR to the 3.6 branch. If that's not the case - a backport 
to 3.7 would be much appreciated.

Does this need to be backported to 3.7 and 3.6?  Or can it be closed as 
resolved?

[issue32540] venv docs - doesn't match behavior

[Jason R. Coombs]

New submission from Jason R. Coombs :

In the docs for the venv command, it states:

> Changed in version 3.4: In earlier versions, if the target directory already 
> existed, an error was raised, unless the --clear or --upgrade option was 
> provided. Now, if an existing directory is specified, its contents are 
> removed and the directory is processed as if it had been newly created.

However, that's not the behavior I observe:

$ python -m venv env
$ env/bin/pip install -q requests
$ python -m venv env  
$ env/bin/python -c "import requests"
$

Plus, I believe the _current_ behavior should be documented not in a 'change' 
note. I suggest the change note should read:

> Changed in version 3.4: In earlier versions, if the target directory already 
> existed, an error was raised, unless the --clear or --upgrade option was 
> provided.

And the third paragraph, following "It also creates an (initially 
empty...Lib\site-packages).":

> If an existing directory is specified, it will be re-used.
