[issue22256] pyvenv should display a progress indicator while creating an environment

STINNER Victor added the comment: I close the issue. If someone wants to work on venv, I suggest to attempt to copy virtualenv cache optimization of virtualenv 20, to speedup the creation of a venv, rather than adding a progress bar :-) -- resolution: -> out of date stage: needs pa

Nick Coghlan added the comment: I have a vague recollection of originally using check_call, and then switching to check_output. However, that may have just been for testing related reasons, which could be better handled in the test suite, allowing users to see the pip installation output as a

Donald Stufft added the comment: I just noticed this issue. I think all that really needs done here is changing the venv module to use subprocess.check_call instead of subprocess.check_output when calling ensurepip. -- ___ Python tracker

Vinay Sajip added the comment: Should this be a change to ensurepip, then, or a change in pyvenv? My original pyvenvex.py script at https://gist.github.com/vsajip/4673395 shows progress information as the subprocess runs. However, it somewhat depends on the verbosity of the underlying child p

[issue22256] pyvenv should display a progress indicator while creating an environment
