> i thought any warning message or exception handling was necessary. Or (venv) doesn't show up. No, because these are just scripts created by venv and placed in the venv's directory tree. If you then move the files to a different location, they aren't engineered to notice, and so will not behave as you expect. As venv's aren't meant to be moved, there's no particular reason to engineer for that possibility. OK to close this issue as "not a bug"?
