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. |
