[New-bugs-announce] [issue40588] Creating Virtual Environments Does Not Work (Not Creating Folder)

[Shengjun Zhu]

New submission from Shengjun Zhu <zhushengjun1 at gmail.com>:

I followed the instructions,  run "python3 -m venv tutorial-env" , but the command doesn't create any directory.

https://docs.python.org/3.8/tutorial/venv.html

I followed the instructions in the post below to remove the "Application Execution Aliases" for python.exe and python3.exe. That got rid of the exe files in WindowsApps. However, now when I type where python3 in CMD, I get: INFO: Could not find files for the given pattern(s).

I changed python3 in the command to python, it worked.
python -m venv tutorial-env

I think in version python3.8, instead python3 , we should use python, right?
