Currently, the prompt is enclosed in parentheses, both in the venv and when storing: PS N:\projects\cpython> python -m venv testvenv --prompt=" prompt with spaces " Running Release|Win32 interpreter... PS N:\projects\cpython> .\testvenv\Scripts\activate ( prompt with spaces ) PS N:\projects\cpython> Contents of pyvenv.cfg: home = N:\projects\cpython\PCbuild\win32 include-system-site-packages = false version = 3.8.0 prompt = ( prompt with spaces ) I also tested using quotes in the prompt, which lead to opening issue 35667. Here's a prompt that itself has parentheses: PS N:\projects\cpython> python -m venv testvenv --prompt="(my prompt)" Running Release|Win32 interpreter... PS N:\projects\cpython> .\testvenv\Scripts\activate ((my prompt)) PS N:\projects\cpython> It seemed to me that the parenthesis would allow the retrieval of both the original prompt definition and how it looked in display. Maybe my tests didn't demonstrate this clearly? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35661> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
