It depends which ones. Even Mercurial doesn't always abide by that rule (e.g. "hg clone" will tell you that it updates to the default branch). > Whether "source activate" is good advise or not, I'm not so sure - I'd > typically run env/bin/python instead. That's good if you only want to use the interpreter directly, but not if you want to call any scripts. Also, the reason I think "source activate" is good advice is that it's easy to type instead "./bin/activate" which silently succeeds (but is actually a no-op, from the caller's point of view). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15283> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
