Jason R. Coombs added the comment: On Python 3.6, I made the edit. I actually used the one-liner ` os.environ.pop('__PYVENV_LAUNCHER__', None)`. I then created a venv and installed a package and successfully ran a module in that package:

Additionally, it's corrected the undesirable behavior that Tim demonstrated: $ rm -R ~/.envs/issue22490-test $ python -m virtualenv ~/.envs/issue22490-test Using base prefix '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6' New python executable in /Users/jaraco/.envs/issue22490-test/bin/python3 Also creating executable in /Users/jaraco/.envs/issue22490-test/bin/python Installing setuptools, pip, wheel...done. $ python -c 'import subprocess; subprocess.call(["/Users/jaraco/.envs/issue22490-test/bin/python", "-c", "import sys; print(sys.executable)"])' /Users/jaraco/.envs/issue22490-test/bin/python I tried making a Framework build of Python with the environment variable removed entirely, but I'm not experienced enough with builds on a Mac to know what I need to do to create a proper build.

What might one expect to fail due to the lack of that environment variable? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22490> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
