Where would we like to put this information? My proposal would be to add this in a combination of places: 1. Add a further note near the symlinks on Windows comment in this document: `Doc\using\venv-create.inc` 2. Add a blurb in the Activate.ps1 script itself, so that any user can see it very near where the problem might occur. `Lib\venv\scripts\common\Activate.ps1` I'd probably put something like the following in there: --- .. note:: On Microsoft Windows, it may be required to enable the ``Activate.ps1`` script by setting the execution policy for the user. You can do this by issuing the following Powershell command from a Powershell command window: PS C:\Users\user> Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser See `About Execution Policies <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_execution_policies?view=powershell-7>`_ for more information. --- (This would exist as a ".Notes" section in the Activate.ps1 script) What do folks think? ---------- nosy: +d3r3kk _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38972> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
