> so maybe proposing a simple `venv --activate <path>` that does nothing more than set those key environment variables
If venv is run in a child process of the shell, how does it set those variables in the parent shell? I thought that wasn't possible (on POSIX, anyway), which is why e.g. pew spawns a subshell.
> Sure, but then that doesn't mean activation isn't convenient
Indeed it is. But many less experienced users think that it's always a necessary step, when it isn't always so. |
