No. And that helped me find the problem. I had an old .pydistutils.cfg file with a line: install_lib = ~/Library/Python/$py_version_short/lib/python/site-packages That completely upset the venv. (whether it should have done or not, I don't know. I would have expected venv to ignore pydistutils.cfg) Thank you both for your help!
