spawn hangs when run in virtual environment about wexpect

[ScriptPup]

Was a solution or workaround for this ever implemented? I just tried building from source in case it was only in the dev build, but I'm still unable to use wexpect within a virtual environment.

I am using virtualenv, not venv. The python -c "import sys; print(sys.executable)" test shows the virtualenv version of Python, not the system-wide one. Using subprocess directly, Popen returns an object as expected. Sorry I didn't make that clear on the OP, I'd forgotten about venv.

Hi,

As @ddeel has found in this comment:

Release 20.0.34 that says "Align with venv module when creating virtual environments with builtin creator on Windows 3.7 and later"

This means that the now the same thing can happen both in venv and virtualenv.

The 850eece shows a way to solve this issue in all virtualenv. This implementation does not uses the child process' pid to identify the pip.
