Strange venv behaviour

[Tony Arnold]

Hi,

Not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but I've observed the following
behaviour when configuring virtual environment on eric7 25.2 running on
Ubuntu 24.04.

If I configure the python interpreter for a venv as /usr/bin/python3,
then eric shows all the locally installed packages in the PyPi panel
rather than just those in the venv. Also when trying to install a
package in the venv, it gives an error saying the venv is locally
managed.

However, if I configure the interpreter to use the path of the venv,
e.g., /home/venv/somevenv/bin/python3, then PyPi shows just the
packages in that venv and allows installation and removal of packages
within the venv.

Hope this makes sense.

Regards,
Tony.
