[New-bugs-announce] [issue18807] Allow venv to create copies, even when symlinks are supported

[Andrea Corbellini]

New submission from Andrea Corbellini:

I'd really appreciate if `venv` could create environments without symlinks.

Working on many Python projects, each one with different requirements, I prefer to keep everything I need in a single virtualenv directory, rather than two (one for the virtualenv and one for the built Python).

So I'd like to have a --copies option that lets me force venv not to create symlinks. I can work on a patch if this issue is accepted.
