Thanks Adam.

This analysis is correct, and I think there are two parts to this.

First, we probably need to add an os.path.realpath(path_to_venv) before we try 
and launch the environment. We *could* limit this to when it's under AppData, 
but I think limiting it to Windows is enough.

Second, if the realpath generated a different path, we should warn the caller. 
That wouldn't have helped in this (programmatic) case, but at least if someone 
is looking at the output they'll get an important hint.

(The docs describing this behaviour are at 
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/desktop/desktop-to-uwp-behind-the-scenes

[issue45337] Create venv with pip fails when target dir is under userappdata using Microsoft Store python

[Adam Yoblick]

New submission from Adam Yoblick :

Repro steps:

1. Install Python 3.9 from the Microsoft Store
2. Try to create a virtual environment under the userappdata folder, using a 
command line similar to the following:

"C:\Program 
Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_3.9.2032.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\python3.9.exe"
 -m venv "C:\Users\advolker\AppData\Local\Microsoft\CookiecutterTools\env"

3. Observe the following error:

Error: Command 
'['C:\\Users\\advolker\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\CookiecutterTools\\env\\Scripts\\python.exe',
 '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']' returned non-zero exit 
status 106.

Note that creating a venv without pip DOES work:

"C:\Program 
Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_3.9.2032.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\python3.9.exe"
 -m venv "C:\Users\advolker\AppData\Local\Microsoft\CookiecutterTools\env" 
--without-pip

BUT the venv is NOT at the specified location. This is because the Windows 
Store app creates a redirect when creating the venv, and that redirect is only 
visible from within the python executable.

This means that python doesn't respect the redirect when trying to install pip 
into the newly created venv.
