| I’m not sure if it is intended, but it seems wrong to me that pyvenv.cfg is using a format that ConfigParser does not recognise. ConfigParser requires all values be placed under a section, but pyvenv.cfg does not do that. Maybe related: * ConfigParser’s format requirement: https://docs.python.org/3/library/configparser.html#supported-ini-file-structure * How venv creates the configuration file: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/venv/__init__.py#L141 * Abandoned discussion on whether ConfigParser should support section-less format #22253 | ||

| "Seems wrong to me" is not a sufficient reason for changing things in this area. The pyvenv.cfg file is intended to be parsed by the interpreter's C code as well as by Python code, so its format needs to be kept as simple as possible. |
