venv windows: Missing `venv/bin` folder, should symlink `venv/bin` -> `venv/Scripts`

Bug report

Entering into a venv environment on Windows doesn't work well.

The command to enter into a virtual environment on Linux and MacOS looks like this:

source venv/bin/activate.sh

On Windows however, there is no venv/bin but instead venv/Scripts, which appears to be a similar / same folder to venv/bin. Therefore on windows (git-bash) source venv/bin/activate.sh does not work

As a workaround in my projects, I simply create a symlink using the windows junction point feature (mkdir /j) so that symlink venv/bin points to venv/Scripts and then everything seems to work right.

Windows gained non-admin symlinking in 2019

The fix for this problem only became available in 2019 since mkdir /j was added or enabled for windows directory symlinks. Prior to this, a windows host needed to have admin privilege's or a registry hack in order to symlink a folder.

Your environment

• Windows 10, in git-bash
• python 3.10.7

Comience localizando la implementación de Python venv responsable de crear entornos de Windows y, después, compare su estructura Scripts con la estructura bin utilizada en Linux y macOS. Verifique el comportamiento propuesto desde Git Bash en Windows y confirme que la activación mediante venv/bin funciona sin romper el uso existente de Windows.
