Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment: It should produce any output. Command line utilities typically don't provide a success report. Would you want "mkdir env" to say "created env directory; you can now cd into it", or "cat /etc/passwd" append "successfully displayed text file"???
There are exceptions, of course, such as make(1). They may be reasonable in cases where the user might not be certain what constitutes a successful operation. In this case, it's fairly clear what you wanted to happen. In case you don't know in detail what is in the venv, you can look for yourself. Whether "source activate" is good advise or not, I'm not so sure - I'd typically run env/bin/python instead. ---------- nosy: +loewis _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15283> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
