I mentioned this when we were chatting on IRC, but to repeat for the general audience.. I think it'd be useful for support purposes if the configure script summary printed details of how we setup the venv. eg perhaps a summary for each python module of whether we added it to the venv, or relied on te site packages: python venv: meson (site), sphinx (venv), avocado (venv) With regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :|
