New submission from ThiefMaster <adr...@planetcoding.net>:
When using `python -m venv --upgrade someenv`, it rewrites `pyvenv.cfg` with the current python version but leaves the python symlinks untouched (https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/a8ef4572a6b28bcfc0b10b34fa4204954b9dd761/Lib/venv/__init__.py#L248) This is of course fine when the original location of the Python interpreter is something like `/usr/bin/python3.9`, but when using pyenv it's a path containing the full version such as `/home/USER/.pyenv/versions/3.9.2/bin/python`, which makes in-place updates of minor Python versions harder than needed (manual update of the symlink needed). IfF you agree that this change makes sense, I wouldn't mind sending a PR for this... ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 388840 nosy: ThiefMaster priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: venv: recreate symlinks on --upgrade type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43513> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
