Paul Moore <p.f.mo...@gmail.com> added the comment:
I'm inclined to think that creating a venv from within another venv should be allowed. Tools like pipx can result in *other* tools being run from within a virtual environment, and I don't think it's good to disallow that usage - as an example, I have virtualenv, tox and nox installed via pipx, and all of them create virtual environments. So I'm +1 on fixing this by calling realpath. I don't think we need to do anything special for --system-site-packages. The docs say "Give the virtual environment access to the system site-packages dir". If people are trying to chain venvs using it, they are misreading that comment - and the best they could hope for is to request that it's made clearer. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42013> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
