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

Commencez par localiser l’implémentation de Python venv responsable de la création des environnements Windows, puis comparez sa structure Scripts avec la structure bin utilisée sous Linux et macOS. Vérifiez le comportement proposé depuis Git Bash sous Windows et confirmez que l’activation via venv/bin fonctionne sans casser l’utilisation existante de Windows.
