https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html says:

> If the target directory already exists an error will be raised, unless the --clear or --upgrade option was provided.

However, that doesn't seem to be the case:

[florian@ginny ~]$ python --version
Python 3.4.2
[florian@ginny ~]$ pyvenv foobar
[florian@ginny ~]$ ls foobar
bin  include  lib  lib64  pyvenv.cfg
[florian@ginny ~]$ pyvenv foobar
[florian@ginny ~]$
