Merry Christmas everyone! In my case, I cannot install pants anymore since the last commit to

./pants

(the virtualenv thingy). I tried prepending

$venv_path/src

to PYTHONPATH but then it complains about

appdirs

(pants) cristian@Cristian-XPS13:~/workspace$ ./pants --version

Maybe wipe the bootstrap venv and let the script rebuild it? I.e.,

rm -rf /home/cristian/.cache/pants/setup/bootstrap-Linux-x86_64/

i did

rm -rf ~/.cache

several times and it didn't help

I reproduced it locally (on macOS) by trying to use that script in the example-python repository.

thank you

the

pants

script in example-python is not the latest version of the script (it is the one before). In my case the script version in example-python worked but the most recent one (with VENV_VERSION=${VENV_VERSION:-20.2.2}) didn't

Thanks for addressing this, @fast-nail-55400!
