Description
Bug report
When you run python -m venv .venv, and .venv/ensurepip.py already exists, the file gets run.
Repro script:
import os
from pathlib import Path
import subprocess
import sys
from tempfile import TemporaryDirectory
with TemporaryDirectory() as name:
root = Path(name)
home = root / "private"
home.mkdir(mode=0o700)
env = {k: v for k, v in os.environ.items() if not k.startswith("PYTHON")}
env["PIP_NO_INDEX"] = "1"
cases = [
("normal", [], [], True),
("isolated", ["-I"], [], True),
("without-pip", ["-I"], ["--without-pip"], False),
("clear-regular-directory", ["-I"], ["--clear"], False),
]
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
cases.append(("vscode", ["-I"], [], True))
for case, interpreter_options, venv_options, expected in cases:
project = root / case
target = project / ".venv"
target.mkdir(parents=True)
marker = home / case
(target / "ensurepip.py").write_text(
"import os, runpy, sys\n"
"from pathlib import Path\n"
f"Path({str(marker)!r}).write_text('bootstrap executed')\n"
"sys.path[:] = [s for s in sys.path if os.path.realpath(s) != os.getcwd()]\n"
"runpy.run_module('ensurepip', run_name='__main__')\n"
)
if case == "vscode":
arguments = [str(Path(sys.argv[1]).resolve())]
else:
arguments = ["-m", "venv", *venv_options, ".venv"]
command = [sys.executable, *interpreter_options, *arguments]
subprocess.run(command, env=env, cwd=project, check=True, timeout=90)
print(case, "marker", marker.exists(), flush=True)
