New submission from Marc Schlaich <marc.schla...@googlemail.com>:
Creating a venv from the python.exe from another venv does not work since 3.7.2 on Windows. This is probably related to the change bpo-34977: venv on Windows will now use a python.exe redirector rather than copying the actual binaries from the base environment. For example running c:\users\$USER\.local\pipx\venvs\pipx-app\scripts\python.exe -m venv C:\Users\$USER\.local\pipx\venvs\tox C:\Users\$USER\.local\pipx\venvs\tox\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip results in pip installing to venvs\pipx-app and not in venvs\tox. Downstream bugreport in pipx is https://github.com/pipxproject/pipx-app/issues/81. ---------- components: Library (Lib), Windows messages: 334658 nosy: paul.moore, schlamar, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Creating venv from venv no longer works in 3.7.2 type: behavior versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35872> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
