I agree with Eric.

Thanks for the idea, Ivan, but I'm closing this as an idea we won't be pursuing.

[issue36400] Add activate script to venv root folder

[Eric V. Smith]

Eric V. Smith  added the comment:

While I think this might have been a reasonable choice when this was first 
added, I think it's too late to change. We'd have to keep the files in bin (or 
Scripts) indefinitely because there are a zillion tutorials that talk about 
them. And having them in both places just leads to confusion.

[issue36400] Add activate script to venv root folder

[Ivan Marin]

New submission from Ivan Marin :

Instead of keeping the activate script of a virtualenv created with venv on the 
bin folder, move the file or create a link to the root folder of the venv file. 
Even better if there´s a way to make it easier to make shell autocomplete 
faster.

The rationale is that every time a virtualenv has to be activated, the path to 
the virtualenv has to be typed plus the bin folder and the activate script 
name. Having on the root folder of the virtualenv saves a few keystrokes, that 
compound to a lot of work when one is activating venvs all day.
