[New-bugs-announce] [issue39226] venv does not include pythonXX.lib

[Antonio Vázquez Blanco]

New submission from Antonio Vázquez Blanco <antoniovazquezblanco at gmail.com>:

I've tryed to install mod_wsgi using pip lately in a venv. This installation process fails with a message about a missing venv\scripts\libs\python38.lib file as reported in https://github.com/GrahamDumpleton/mod_wsgi/issues/506

It seems that this file used to be included in virtual environments but the behaviour has changed. This library seems to be a dependency for some modules, shouldn't it be included in the virtual environment? Is this behaviour change desired? If so, how should modules link to python.lib?

Thanks in advance
