Did some more digging, realised pipenv creates virtual by running the virtualenv create command in CLI.

It was a but difficult to identify the source code that actually creates the files, but I saw one of the tests

https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/blob/97b3060c0c679d382129224b8bde7565c7344cb7/tests/unit/create/test_creator.py#L646

It checks only if bin is created, doesnt do any window specific nt checks

Let me know if this should be a virtualenv issue or pipenv

matteius · 2023-10-20T01:06:16Z

Just wondering, and its different from your virtualenv question, I'd have to dig more in that, but does this update to pythonfinder solve what you are seeing: #5986

gigatesseract · 2023-10-25T10:12:06Z

@matteius I am not sure, I dont see any references to updating Scripts with bin I think it will not be solved.
Any way for me to check for sure?

matteius · 2023-10-25T11:25:24Z

Well from my perspective, I use pipenv in windows all the time -- I recall such a similar issue in the past but I thought it was solved by upgrading virtualenv and re-creating old virtualenvs. The new version has been published to pypi so you can upgrade pipenv as well.

gigatesseract · 2023-10-26T19:13:24Z

I still face the issue with latest versions of pipenv.
