[issue46028] 3.11.0a3: under tox, sys._base_executable is wrong

[Ned Batchelder]

Ned Batchelder <ned at nedbatchelder.com> added the comment:

Tox isn't needed, just venv from the stdlib:


$ python3.11.0a2 -m venv venv_a2

$ venv_a2/bin/python -c "import sys,os.path; print(e := sys._base_executable); print(os.path.exists(e))"
/private/tmp/venv_a2/bin/python
True

$ python3.11.0a3 -m venv venv_a3

$ venv_a3/bin/python -c "import sys,os.path; print(e := sys._base_executable); print(os.path.exists(e))"
/usr/local/bin/python
False
