Subject: python3.10 -m venv installs pip to incorrect path VENV_ROOT/local/bin/pip

Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2022 01:45:57 +0000

Package: python3.10
Version: 3.10.2-5
Severity: important

As of python3.10 3.10.2-3, python3.10 -m venv installs pip to the wrong path:

# apt update
# apt install python3.10-venv
# python3.10 -m venv /tmp/my-venv
# . /tmp/my-venv/bin/activate
# type pip
bash: type: pip: not found
# pip --version
bash: pip: command not found
# echo $PATH
/tmp/my-venv/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
# ls /tmp/my-venv/bin
Activate.ps1  activate	activate.csh  activate.fish  python  python3  python3.10
# ls /tmp/my-venv/local/bin
pip  pip3  pip3.10

There’s a similar problem with virtualenv; although virtualenv still installs pip to the correct path, that pip installs other binaries to the wrong path:

# deactivate
# apt install python3-virtualenv
# virtualenv -p python3.10 /tmp/my-virtualenv
# /tmp/my-virtualenv/bin/pip install black
# . /tmp/my-virtualenv/bin/activate
# type black
bash: type: black: not found
# black --version
bash: black: command not found
# ls /tmp/my-virtualenv/local/bin
black  black-primer  blackd

This all worked correctly in 3.10.2-2.

# deactivate
# echo deb https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20220224T145813Z/ sid main >> /etc/apt/sources.list
# apt update
# apt install {libpython3.10-minimal,libpython3.10-stdlib,python3.10,python3.10-minimal,python3.10-venv}=3.10.2-2
# rm -rf /tmp/my-venv /tmp/my-virtualenv
# python3.10 -m venv /tmp/my-venv
# . /tmp/my-venv/bin/activate
# type pip
pip is /tmp/my-venv/bin/pip
# pip --version
pip 22.0.2 from /tmp/my-venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pip (python 3.10)
# deactivate
# virtualenv -p python3.10 /tmp/my-virtualenv
# /tmp/my-virtualenv/bin/pip install black
# . /tmp/my-virtualenv/bin/activate
# type black
black is /tmp/my-virtualenv/bin/black
# black --version
black, 22.1.0 (compiled: yes)

thanks

sysconfig-debian-schemes.patch uses an incorrect test for a virtual 
environment:

if 'real_prefix' in sys.__dict__ or 'VIRTUAL_ENV' in os.environ:

Both sys.real_prefix and VIRTUAL_ENV are only set by virtualenv, not venv, 
and then only when the virtualenv is activated by VENV_ROOT/bin/activate, 
not when VENV_ROOT/bin/python is launched directly by its path.

This patch corrects the test to

if sys.base_prefix != sys.prefix:

which works on Python ≥ 3.3.
