Vinay Sajip added the comment:
The behaviour was changed in 3.4 in response to #15776, but the documentation

New submission from Florian Bruhin:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html says:
If the target directory already exists an error will be raised, unless the
--clear or --upgrade option was provided.
However, that doesn't seem to be the case:
[florian@ginny ~]$ python --version
