New submission from Daniel Lintott: In the documentation for venv (https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/venv.html) it gives examples for activating the venv under bash/zsh.
For a long time under both Debian and Ubuntu the default shell has been Dash (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh) Dash doesn't undertsand the command 'source' so instead the venv must be activated using the . command (as is done for Fish, but using the bash activate file instead) ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 225001 nosy: dlintott, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Actiavting a venv - Dash doesn't understand source type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22162> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
