Cannot find installation file structure change in changelog

[kapple19]

On Windows, I have a Python dependency that used to install the virtual Python environment in a ./Scripts/ directory (Python 3.11.0). Recently my automated Python installation started installing Python in a ./bin/ directory instead (Python 3.11.7).

Which Python versions does this change apply to?
I can't find it in the changelogs.

Which dependency are you using (or installing?) and how are you creating virtual environments? Maybe the changed behavior is due to the dependency or the software for managing the virtual environment and not the changed python version. Without further details is a bit hard to judge what is happening.

My colleague who set it up says that the change was probably in the Python package venv.

What's the output of python -VV? Which shell are you running this in?

[kapple19]

.\python -VV returns the following:

• "Working" version: Python 3.11.0 (main, Oct 24 2022, 18:26:48) [MSC v.1933 64 bit (AMD64)]
• "Broken" version: Python 3.11.7 (main, Dec 7 2023, 09:09:57) [GCC UCRT 13.2.0 64 bit (AMD64)]

My colleague just found this issue!

That issue is 12 years old, and as near as I can tell was never implemented. Your problem is most likely due to the 3.11.7 version you're using being part of mingw or cygwin or similar. This is not a Python bug, so I'm going to close this issue. You should ask for help at https://discuss.python.org/c/help/7, or maybe StackOverflow.
