❯ py -m venv env --without-pip --clear --symlinks ❯ .\env\Scripts\python.exe -c "import venv, subprocess; venv.EnvBuilder(with_pip=False, symlinks=True).create('venv'); subprocess.check_call(['venv\\Scripts\\python.exe', '-Ic', 'import sys; print(sys.executable)'])" Fatal Python error: init_fs_encoding: failed to get the Python codec of the filesystem encoding Python runtime state: core initialized ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings' ---------- nosy: -FFY00 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42013> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
