From 9b63868f77c6782bba6b3ceed8e2058b471b6fd5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brett Cannon Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2015 15:14:27 -0700 Subject: Issue #25154: Deprecate the pyvenv script. This was done so as to move users to `python3 -m venv` which prevents confusion over which Python interpreter will be used in the virtual environment when more than one is installed. --- Doc/whatsnew/3.6.rst | 5 ++++- Misc/NEWS | 6 ++++++ Tools/scripts/pyvenv | 6 ++++++ 3 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/Doc/whatsnew/3.6.rst b/Doc/whatsnew/3.6.rst index b374280..22513cf8 100644 --- a/Doc/whatsnew/3.6.rst +++ b/Doc/whatsnew/3.6.rst @@ -197,7 +197,10 @@ Deprecated functions and types of the C API Deprecated features ------------------- -* None yet. +* The ``pyvenv`` script has been deprecated in favour of ``python3 -m venv``. + This prevents confusion as to what Python interpreter ``pyvenv`` is + connected to and thus what Python interpreter will be used by the virtual + environment.
